The International Travel Fund has been established to support international travel by faculty members who are making scholarly presentations or serving in a leadership capacity for an international scholarly organization.

All Group I faculty members are eligible for this funding. The only requirements are that the trip be approved through normal regional campus processes, that the regional campus provide funding within its normal guidelines, and that the faculty member seek funding through the University International Travel Fund (UITF). Assuming these conditions, the faculty member is eligible for up to $1,500 toward approved expenses. Eligibility is limited to one trip every two years. Trips to Canada will not normally be covered by this fund.

It is anticipated that approximately ten trips per year will be approved but others will be considered if the need occurs. Although budget constraints may limit the support available, every effort will be made to dispense the funding equitably among the campuses.

To Apply: Send a description of the activity with projected budget, and documentation, both of campus funding and of application to the UITF to:
