Travel Grants


As of now, our travel grant application is closed. Please contact tep@lclark.edu with any questions.


The Teaching Excellence Program encourages faculty to attend conferences related to pedagogical development. This may be a teaching conference or a pre-conference associated with a professional meeting.

Faculty may apply for up to $1500 towards registration and travel costs. Recipients of a travel grant from TEP are asked to lead a round-table discussion and/or an interactive presentation about what they learned.

Please note: No more than two grant applications will be funded for the same conference. All Lewis & Clark travel policies apply.
