UWM tenure-track faculty are eligible to apply for Center for International Education (CIE) international travel awards. A maximum of $500 will be provided for each award.
Faculty who have received
CIE faculty travel awards within the preceding fiscal year are not eligible for an award in the current fiscal year.

Awards will be limited to support for:

- formal participation, performance, or exhibition outside the U.S. Participation is defined as presenting the results of research at an international professional meeting, not merely attending a conference. Appropriate documentation must be submitted.

- travel to plan, develop, or strengthen exchange programs for students to earn degree credits through overseas study or internships, and for faculty to participate in research and scholarship at foreign institutions.
