International Scholarship Grant
A page within Research & Sponsored Programs
The International Scholarship Grant (ISG) program exists to help support the travel associated with the internationalization of the university. The primary outcome associated with the grant is the support of travel costs to present research at international venues. Successful proposals may also support research and other scholarly projects that are international in scope and have the potential to transform the applicant’s research. UWL employees may submit proposals associated with conducting scholarly endeavors abroad in a manner that maximizes the interaction between faculty/staff and the host culture/community. Proposals must be approved by the applicant's immediate supervisor (e.g., department chair, dean) and demonstrate that the university will realize tangible benefits. The Provost's Office provides funding to support the program.
Deadlines
Proposals must be submitted via the Canvas grant submission course by noon on the first Monday in October, February, or May* (upcoming deadlines: by noon on May 6, 2024; October 7, 2024; February 3, 2025).
*Funds awarded during the May review will not be available until after July 1.
