2026-27 SEC Faculty Travel Program internal competition applications due June 8

  • Application deadline: Monday, June 8

The SEC Faculty Travel Program was established in 2012 and aims to foster relationships that stimulate collaboration between SEC member universities relative to exchanging ideas, developing grant proposals, presenting lectures, conducting research, and delivering performances. In support of the SEC Faculty Travel Program, the SEC provides up to $10,000 in travel awards to each SEC university to assist participating faculty.

Faculty members can only submit applications on their own behalf, as these funds cannot cover teams, groups, or staff working with the faculty member. Travel funds may not be used for non-travel-related expenses. The program is intended to lessen the financial burden associated with travel, lodging, and meals; funds awarded may not necessarily cover all of the trip’s travel costs.

UGA typically divides this $10,000 grant among 4-10 recipients. The budget limit per applicant is $2,500. To be considered for a portion of this grant, please submit an internal application according to the required internal submission instructions.
