- Fees to create a poster to present SoTL work at a conference

To apply, please complete the application. The application involves specifying how much money is being requested, as well as submitting a 150 – 250 summary describing how the funding supports the faculty or staff member’s SoTL efforts. Afterwards, a CITLS staff member will be in contact with regards to whether the funding is available for the request.
Please note that SoTL scholars can also apply for funding through the Academic Research Committee for their SoTL work as relevant.
