Campus Internationalization Event Fund

Application Information

The Internationalization Event Fund is designed to strengthen global engagement on the Forty Acres. Texas Global will accept proposals for up to $10,000 from academic units sponsoring high-impact, globally-oriented events that involve multiple UT colleges and schools and that will reach broad audiences (at least 100 attendees). The fund is open to colleges, schools, and academic units (CSUs) that report to the executive vice president and provost. Examples of eligible events include academic conferences, symposia, lectures, musical performances, art exhibitions, or other interactive events that promote internationalization. Events must be on campus and cross-institutional involving multiple UT Austin colleges, schools, and/or units (CSUs). Virtual events are not eligible.

Application Deadline

Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis. To ensure adequate review and planning time, applications must be submitted a minimum of two months before the event.
