Conference Travel Grants

In recognition of the expense associated with international travel, a limited number of conference travel grant awards are made available each year to BYU faculty.  Priority will be granted to faculty who participate in Kennedy Center programs.

The awards are capped at $1,000 and are available to faculty presenting papers at conferences with both an international location and focus.

Funding is not available for part-time, retired, or adjunct professors. Requests for travel to countries on the State Department’s Travel Warning List must have prior approval from the International Vice President.

Faculty who receive travel grants are expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the Kennedy Center in some way. Future publications should acknowledge support of the center, and faculty should be willing to report their research as part of the Kennedy Center lecture series. All grant recipients are required to submit a one-page memo at the end of the year reporting on the use of Kennedy Center funds. Funds are available for use in the year awarded. Travel grants may not be deferred.
