Faculty Travel Stipends
NOTE: All funds for the current fiscal year have been committed. The program is anticipated to undergo some change this summer. Please check back after July 1 for additional information.
Research Administration allocates funds each year to provide partial assistance to faculty who are presenting the results of their research or scholarly activity at a professional conference. Travel support is limited to $500 or one-half the total cost of the trip, whichever is less. A faculty member may only receive one award per fiscal year.
These funds are available on the following basis:
- The faculty member must be reading a paper prepared for a professional meeting in his/her discipline or special area.
- There must be evidence (a copy of the letter accepting the paper, a copy of the appropriate page from the meeting's program) that the paper has been accepted.
- The presenter's chair must indicate that the delivery of the paper will "further the mission of the University."
