International Travel Fund deadline is June 1
By David Holben

The University International Council has an International Travel Fund to help support international travel for scholarly activity. The next application deadline for this fiscal year is June 1 for applicants interested in travel commencing between July 1 and Sept. 30.
Starting Fiscal Year 2002-2003 there will be five application dates. New guidelines for the International Travel Fund are as follows:
- ITF support is available to Group I and II faculty.
- The fund supports international research, paper presentation and other international scholarly activities that are approved and partially supported by the applicant's department, college or school.
- Priority is given to those who have not received any support in recent years. Only one award can be received during a fiscal year.
- The maximum amount of support is half of the round-trip plane ticket from the United States to the foreign country destination and no larger than $500. The committee will endeavor to award the greatest amount the applicant is eligible to receive for travel (half of air ticket, up to maximum of $500). Should the committee have an excessive number of applications, the amount may be decreased (e.g., $500 to $400) in order to support more faculty in their scholarly and creative endeavors.
- Fully completed applications are due by 4 p.m. at Burson House.
- Deadlines are firm.
- If a deadline falls on a weekend, university-observed holiday, or a day that the University has been closed due to an emergency, fully completed applications will be due the next business day by 4 p.m. at Burson House.
- The goal of the committee will be to provide notification within two weeks of the deadline date to the applicant.
- A minimum of $3,000 will be available for each of the five funding cycles to insure that applicants later in the year also have opportunity for funding.
- Travel must begin within the dates for the period applicants apply for.
- Application deadlines for 2002-2003:
- May 15--for travel starting between July 1 and Sept. 30.
- Sept. 1--for travel starting between Oct. 1 and Nov. 15.
- Oct. 15--for travel starting between Nov. 16 and Jan. 31.
- Jan. 2--for travel starting between Feb. 1 and April 15.
- March 15--for travel starting between April 16 and June 30.
