Policies

Academic Conference Funds are available to promote scholarly activities of GCU fulltime faculty (including campus-based and online) and doctoral faculty.  Funds are available to support SoTL and disciplinary- related research presentations at scholarly conferences.  Funding is available to pay expenses associated with:

•    Lodging, meals, and transportation (including mileage reimbursement)
•    Conference registration

Funding Amounts

Academic Conference Funds are awarded on a competitive basis up to the following limits:

• Maximum of $1500 per conference
• Maximum of $3000 per applicant per calendar year

Applicants must include a notice of any funding received from another source; duplicate funding (i.e., funding for the same purpose) is not allowed.  Fund awards will balance the demands of multiple meritorious proposals against limited funds.
