Provost International Travel Fund

The Office of the Provost is pleased to announce the allocation of funding to support international faculty travel in FY27. These international travel funds are managed by the Office of Global Engagement.

International travel is defined as travel outside the 48 contiguous states. These funds are available to full-time faculty who are invited to an international conference or artistic venue to present their original scholarly paper or creative work to an audience comprised of faculty from different international institutions. Presenting seminars at a host university or serving as a scholar-in-residence are not supported activities.

International travel funding support is limited to one trip per faculty member in FY27. Requests must include at least 1:1 matching funds for consideration. A maximum of $2,000 in funding per faculty trip is available. Travel must take place between July 1, 2026, and June 23, 2027.
