Funds Available for Development of Credit-Bearing International Courses

The Office of International Programs and Services (IPS) has allocated funds in the form of the IPS Grant for the Development of Credit-Bearing International Courses to support the efforts of full-time, tenure-line faculty members to develop such courses. The grant will provide a faculty stipend of $1,000 and up to $2,000 for airfare and other travel expenses related to setting up a faculty-led international course. Up to five grants will be awarded. The stipend will be awarded in two payments of $500. The first payment will be made following attendance at the mandatory workshop, the second payment following submission of the final report.

Those interested in applying for a grant should submit a formal proposal for a new program, with evidence of sustained departmental and, if applicable, a proposal for an institutional memorandum of understanding with a partner institution(s) in the country to be visited, to the Office of the Provost by Friday, Nov. 19, 2011. For more information, contact Steven Jones, associate provost for civic engagement and academic mission, at ext. 7520 or joness21@scranton.edu.
