TIEF Internationalization Grant Application

TIEF Internationalization Grant Application

Overview

The TIEF Internationalization Grant will award projects that advance our member universities’ internationalization capacity.

Applications which focus on the following themes will be given priority, but other proposals are welcomed:

- Integrating global learning into the curriculum and co-curriculum;

- Tangibly fostering a vibrant and inclusive culture for domestic and international students, staff, and faculty.

- International partnerships which bring measurable outcomes or benefit to students, programs, or the university.

Applications which bring internationalization efforts to campus, which have positive impacts on underrepresented students and/or fields of study; or reach a substantial number of students, faculty, or staff, and those which have clear timelines and outcomes are likely to be rated more highly.

Applications which primarily benefit a single person, or which are not sustainable or scalable are discouraged. Any funds proposed to be directed to individual students or faculty in the form of stipends, off-sets, travel grants, honoraria, overtime, etc. must be transparently described in the application.

Please only submit one application per faculty member, including applications in other grant categories. If one faculty member submits applications for multiple grants (ie, a Study Abroad Grant and and Internationalization Grant), only one application will be considered at the discretion of TIEC and the 2025 Grant Review Committee.

The application deadline for this grant is May 31st, 2025. Please complete the application below to be considered.
