Travel Assistance Fund

The Travel Assistance Fund enables faculty to defray some of the travel costs associated with presenting scholarly outcomes at professional conferences and meetings that have been peer-reviewed, juried, or selected by the major associations or societies in their fields; it also supports travel where they will receive a major award from those organizations.

Applicants must be tenure-track, tenured, or research faculty with a full-time appointment during 2024-2025.  There is no deadline for this program; applications are accepted on a rolling deadline. Eligible faculty may receive this award for no more than two consecutive fiscal years; faculty who received a Travel Assistance Award in FY 2023 and FY 2024 will not be eligible for funds from this program in FY 2025. Only one trip per person may be funded in a fiscal year, and a maximum of $1200 per award will be funded. Applications must be submitted prior to the start date of the conference. You will be a sent a received response within 1-2 business days of submission.
