Travel Funding for TTK Faculty

Annual Funding

Full-time TTK faculty are eligible for up to $2,500 each fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) for travel to academic conferences and symposia. You may use this amount to cover registration fees, to defray costs for travel, for lodging, and for food.

To receive departmental travel support, faculty must be presenting work in a formal capacity (delivering a paper, chairing a session, participating in a seminar) or serving as a conference organizer or officer at a national, international, or regional conference. Expenses incurred for travel to invited talks outside a conference setting must utilize research funds.

Faculty who are currently appointed to administrative roles partially or fully outside of the department are eligible for annual travel funding equal to the percentage of their active appointment in the English department.
