The Office of International Affairs funds grants that are made available to faculty members for interdisciplinary conferences and workshops on international themes, travel, international collaborative research, pre-dissertation research, as well as study abroad programs. We also administer the U.S. Department of Education's Fulbright-Hays grants and serve as the campus representative for the Fulbright Scholars program.

The Fulbright-Hays program provides grants for graduate students and faculty members to travel for specific research, study opportunities, or dissertation research in modern languages and specific area studies that must be conducted in another country. The Fulbright Scholars program is designed to increase mutual understanding between the United States and other countries and promote collaboration and the exchange of ideas among students, faculty, professionals, and teachers.

All of these grant programs serve to promote international educational opportunities that will have a lasting impact on increasing global awareness and understanding.

Additional grant and scholarship opportunities in Japan, Korea and China are available from the East Asian Studies Center.
