The Travel for Interdisciplinary and Community Engaged Learning (TICEL) Travel Grant application is now open to faculty in the graduate and professional schools. Funded by the Kern Family Foundation through the Program, the overarching goal of the TICEL Grant is to educate professionals who recognize complex social problems in their communities, feel motivated to address those problems, and possess the professional competencies and personal virtues to address them.
The Program believes hands-on, experiential learning activities beyond the classroom can support students’ development as leaders with collaborative problem-solving capacities. However, these learning experiences can be expensive, involving costs for transportation, lodging, food, etc. The TICEL grant exists to offset the cost of these learning activities.
Applications are due October 25, 2024, and recipients of the grant are expected to spend the awarded funds by June 1, 2025. Contact Program Manager, Lauren Iley-Spear, for any questions you may have.
