International Programs has funds to sponsor faculty travel for research or to present a paper at an international conference. Travel grants are contingent upon funding from the Endowment Association and the KU Center for Research, and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to tenured or tenure-track faculty or faculty equivalents. Faculty are eligible to receive one travel grant in a three-year period. For more information, contact Bette Luther at 864-6161.

Employees traveling on university business should file out-of-state travel requests regardless of the source of funding that supports the trip, including funding entirely from the traveler’s pocket. Filing the form takes very little time but may help to establish that the claimant was on university business if an injury or accident occurs. The University has blanket insurance coverage for KU employees traveling abroad. Please follow the steps below to apply for international funding:
