Wasnt sure where to post this, but here we go: I am in the very early stages of prepping for my senior thesis which will be exploring the the development of Latin American Capital Markets and trace its effects, etc. Anyway, I am thinking of applying for a grant to get money to travel to somewhere in LA and conduct research. My question is: would visiting a specific country/area help with this type of thesis? what types of independent research could I conduct down there that I could not do from my living room? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I was the runner up in the largest travel fellowship at the university I attended -- was like $20 or $30K to do whatever you wanted for up to six months or something like that. My guess is that you could help yourself out a lot by pitching specific things you would do with the money -- have a list of people you would interview from various exchanges, possibly including government officials, a list of companies that recently went public that you could meet with, bankers, etc.
