The Faculty Association is now accepting applications for the sessional travel fund for the 2022-23 academic year. The deadline for applications in the current round is February 13, 2023.

Sessionals can apply for funding to help with expenses, including travel expenses related to the applicant’s academic work or attending conferences, whether or not travel is involved. The nature of the travel or conference must be relevant to the sessional staff member’s current or expected work at the University of Calgary.

Sessional academic staff members are eligible to apply if they have held a sessional contract at the University of Calgary within the last five years, and either they are or will be holding a sessional contract at the time of the expense, or they expect to have a sessional contract within the next academic year.

The application form is available on the Faculty Association website (Download form). Contact the Faculty Association office at [email protected] if you have questions about the fund or application process.
