Funds are restricted to reimbursable travel expenses, including transit, meals, and, if necessary, overnight accommodations. All expenses shall not exceed $500 per visit. Applicants may apply at any time; grants will be considered on a rolling basis while funds are available.
Standing faculty at Penn in any of the 12 schools are eligible to apply for funds.
Proposal Format
Proposals should include the proposed date of the visit, a short statement of how the visitor would contribute to the course (not to exceed three paragraphs), a single page CV or biographical statement describing the proposed visitor’s expertise and a copy of the course syllabus.
