University Staff Professional Development Grant
To participate, you must be currently employed at UW Oshkosh, UW Oshkosh Fond du Lac and UW Oshkosh Fox Valley as a permanent University Staff member, and have completed at least one continuous year of employment on their campus.
Grants are intended solely for non-credit conferences, seminars and workshops (hereinafter referred to as an event). Dependent on fund availability, grants will be awarded up to $350.
The budget submitted must include the grant amount requested, the event fee and all estimated travel expenses for the event (e.g., transportation costs, mileage, meals, lodging, etc.).
Grants are available for Fall 2023 (for events held June 1, 2023 through Dec. 31, 2023). The application deadline for fall is 4:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 17, 2023, for events scheduled any time between June 1, 2023 through Dec. 31, 2023.
Grant recipients will be notified by Friday, Nov. 24, 2023, and provided with information about their grant disbursements. Within one month of the scheduled event date (or upon notification of receiving the award), grant recipients must submit a written report about the event’s content and how it met the employee’s and supervisor’s expectations.
