Study Abroad Program Development Seed Grants

Program Development

International Affairs provides limited funding for faculty-led study abroad program development. The goal of this funding is to support the professional development of faculty, and increase the internationalization of the campus community. Faculty-led programs offer innovative opportunities for students by expanding the classroom around the world. Funds may be used for site visits for developing new study abroad programs.

Eligibility

Funding up to $3,000 is available only to full-time faculty of Texas Tech who have completed a minimum of one year of service to the University. Funds will not be available to faculty who have led a program or conducted a site visit to the proposed site in the last three years. All programs submitted must be for courses offering academic credit abroad. Funding is non-renewable. Cost sharing with the faculty's department and/or college is strongly encouraged.
