The Office of International Programs accepting International Incentive Grant Proposals until Feb. 13
Don't miss out! The Office of International Programs is accepting international grant proposals to fund activities that are likely to have a significant impact on elevating international education at Kansas State University.
The total award amount for this round of grant proposals is $35,000 — an increase of $10,000 from past years.
The deadline for application submission is 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13.
"Kansas State University welcomed its largest international enrollment ever this past fall with 2,247 international students from more than 100 countries and we are excited that the Office of International Programs has increased the amount of funding dollars available to service our ever increasing global outreach," said Marcellus Caldas, director of international research and faculty collaboration in the Office of International Programs. "This grant can be used by faculty to develop international collaborations for research, teaching and study abroad opportunities."
The majority of individual grants will fall into the range of $1,000 to $3,000. Group applications should be submitted by one individual whom the group has identified to serve as the lead for the grant application.
