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.

Proposals may be submitted on a rolling basis and will be accepted until such time that the allocated $50,000 budget has been exhausted for the current academic year.
