The Internationalization Grant program awards up to $5,000 for projects which advance the University’s internationalization goals and expand global engagement in the colleges and divisions. For 2023-24, we are pleased to offer support in three grant tracks aligned with Oregon State University’s new strategic plan, “Prosperity Widely Shared.” The grants are funded by the INTO OSU Joint Venture Internationalization Fund and cannot be used to make direct payments to employees or students.
For all tracks, we hope to see matched funding from the applicant's home unit equal to the amount requested in the Internationalization Grant proposal, when possible. Other forms of departmental support may be noted in addition to or in lieu of matched funds. In all cases, the letter of support from unit leadership should address how the project aligns with strategic objectives; scalability, sustainability, and impact of the proposed work; and explanation of financial or other forms of internal support provided to the applicant.
Proposals will be rated on:
