Senate Funding Opportunities
Supplemental Travel Award
To assist faculty in pursuing their professional development goals, the AS offers supplemental funds for faculty who wish to attend a conference in their discipline. These supplemental funds would be used only if the faculty member needs more than the travel funds allocated from professional development. To apply for these funds, Check the appropriate box on the Professional Development Application form if you wish your application to be forwarded to the Academic Senate for consideration in awarding supplemental travel funds. Visit the Professional Development website to learn more >
Application guidelines, deadlines, forms, and procedures are the same as for Long Term Professional Development projects.
