The California Conference of the American Association of University Professors (CA-AAUP) is offering a limited number of travel grants to assist chapters and individuals with the costs of attending this year's AAUP/CBC Summer Institute.

Summer Institute 2018 takes place at the University of New Hampshire in scenic Durham, New Hampshire from July 19 to July 22.  This intensive, four-day series of workshops and seminars will prepare you to organize your colleagues, stand up for academic freedom, and advocate for research and teaching as the core priority of higher education. The program and additional information will soon be available at https://www.aaup.org/event/2018-summer-institute.

This year there are several grants for which CA-AAUP members can apply:

1.  CA-AAUP general travel grants are intended to assist with travel and registration costs for any member of AAUP who resides in California. The maximum grant is $800/person. We encourage applicants to also seek funding from their home campuses and AAUP campus chapters.
The deadline to apply for a CA-AAUP Summer Institute General Travel Grant is midnight Friday, May 19, 2018. CA-AAUP scholarship award notifications will be issued by midnight Monday, May 21, 2018.
 
2.  CA-AAUP private university travel grants are intended to assist with travel and registration costs for AAUP members in California who belong to an advocacy chapter at a private university. These have been funded by a generous grant from the AAUP’s Assembly of State Conferences. The maximum grant is $800/person. We encourage applicants to also seek funding from their home campuses and AAUP campus chapters.
The deadline to apply for a CA-AAUP Summer Institute Private University Travel Grant is midnight Friday, May 19, 2018. CA-AAUP scholarship award notifications will be issued by midnight Monday, May 21, 2018.
