Twice a year, Global Programs solicits applications for international travel grants from faculty and graduate students. A robust and varied portfolio of grant programs supports international conference travel, the internationalization of Penn State's curriculum, and the exploration of transformative strategic partnerships around the world. The global engagement made possible through these programs furthers Penn State's vision of becoming a truly global university.

The Spring 2017 competition cycle attracted a record-breaking number of applications in three grant categories: Faculty Travel Grants, Transformational Travel Grants and Graduate Student Travel Grants. Based on the evaluation committee’s reviews and recommendations, over 50 applicants were selected for funding support. Because of this support, recipients will be able to travel, teach and carry out research across the globe, spanning 25 countries and four continents.

Global Programs would like to congratulate the recipients and thank them for their efforts in building a Global Penn State.
