Travel Support
Updated September 8, 2026
Travel support funding is available and active for fiscal year 2026-2027.
As with all previous fiscal years, travel support is on a first come, first served basis. It is not guaranteed or promised, as it is based on the budget conditions which may change at any time. IMPORTANT: You must request prior to conference travel.
Updated September 8, 2026
For Fiscal Year 2027 (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027) travel support for conferences is open. For Domestic travel Professorial faculty will be supported up to $1,000; lecturers up to $500. For International travel requests there is a case-by-case opportunity for an additional $500 (so, $1,000 base + $500 presentation incentive = $1,500 potential total) for conference participation roles in which you are presenting your scholarly works/publications; panel chairing, moderating, or participating in a conference in a capacity other than presenting does not qualify for the $500 presentation incentive. Junior faculty (those who have written confirmation from ORSP that they have spent down their annual start-up funds in full) will receive priority. Please submit your requests using the links below.
