Funds for Class and Group Travel
The class/group travel program
is designed to supplement but not duplicate opportunities to request funding for
travel for academic and instructional purposes. Students seeking funds for
travel to present scholarly/creative activities should apply to the
Undergraduate Research Program.
Faculty seeking funds for service learning
activities should apply to the
Key Center for Community Citizenship and Service
Learning.
- Funding is available to
faculty to support class or group travel for academic or instructional
purposes. Requests should clearly articulate the connection of the activity
to course content, course objectives and/or learning outcomes. Requests
that include plans to offer student presentations, displays or other
products to the campus community are strongly encouraged, as they maximize
the impact of the experience (e.g., poster presentations to department
student clubs, exhibits for display at campus venues, etc.).
- Class or Group Travel
requests are limited to $750. Faculty must complete the
Curricular
Enhancement Form including the itemized budget page.
Deadlines for submission are August 15, October 15, January 15, March
15.
- Students are expected to
make a contribution to their travel costs. The minimum student contribution
for any student travel opportunity is $5 or 20% of the total per person
cost, whichever is larger. Scholarship funds may be available for students
with documented economic need (contact the Financial Aid
Office).
- Academic departments,
programs, and/or relevant student groups associated with the travel request
are required to provide funds in support of the travel opportunity.
Departments or programs with budgets to support required student travel may
elect to waive the required student contribution.
