Conference Funding

Conference and Travel Funds

Travel and conference funds are administered by the Office of Professional Development and awarded by the De Anza College Staff Revitalization and Professional Conference Funds Committee. In order to ensure equitable funding throughout the year, funds are divided among summer, fall, winter, and spring quarters.

Funding provides opportunities for faculty and classified professionals to attend seminars, workshops, and conferences. Staff Revitalization and Professional Conference Funds are related to teaching and learning, job enhancement, and professional development. Examples of acceptable activities include:

• attendance at off-campus and on-campus professional conferences, workshops, and seminars.
• visiting other colleges or industry settings to review exemplary programs.

Plan Ahead!! Please submit your application 3–4 weeks ahead of your activity to allow ample time for the submission and review process.
