The Scholars' Travel Fund is not intended to be an unlimited source of travel support. The number of trips a faculty member is eligible to receive support for during the fiscal year is dependent upon their rank. Each conference counts as one trip. Full professors, associate professors and emeritus faculty members are eligible to receive one trip per fiscal year. The trip may be to a domestic or foreign destination.
Foreign travel is restricted to one trip every other year.
All travel outside the United States will be considered foreign travel. Assistant professors and lecturers are eligible to receive two trips per fiscal year. Faculty members with current external grants for their scholarship are not eligible for a Scholars' Travel Fund award. Retroactive funding will not be considered. The dates of travel must occur after the deadline date.
