Faculty Travel Grants
To support faculty research the Office of Student and Faculty Excellence, Academic Affairs, has allocated $50,000.00 in travel funding for full-time continuing faculty.
TRAVEL GRANT PROCESS UPDATE:
Full-time continuing faculty may apply and receive one Faculty Travel Grant, if eligibility criteria are met.
Please note that travel grants will fund U.S. continental travel only.
Faculty who hold an Endowed Professorship or Endowed Chair, or who receive travel support through funded programs, such as grants, are ineligible to apply.
The travel grant application link will remain open on a continual basis. Applications should be submitted a minimum of one month prior to travel to allow time for the review and award process and for the Chrome River Travel Pre-Approval approvals.
