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 Conference and Travel Funds Committee.

In order to ensure equitable funding throughout the year, funds are divided among summer, fall, winter, and spring quarters.

Funding Categories

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

• Attending online, off-campus and on-campus professional conferences, workshops or seminars.
• Visiting other colleges or industry settings to review exemplary programs.

Plan Ahead!

Please submit your application 3-4 weeks before the activity you wish to attend, in order to allow enough time for the submission and review process. Applications must be approved by the committee prior to travel.
