Academic Professional Development Grants

Professional Development Grants (PDG) are available to faculty, staff, and adjuncts to help cover the costs of attending or presenting at conferences or workshops that benefit the individual, students, and the college.

These grants are available for the academic year (September 1 – June 30), with a maximum request of $500 per year. Funds can be used for registration, hotel, and travel expenses (subject to GSA Per Diem rates).

The grant is reimbursed after successful completion of the event, with applicants covering the expenses upfront. Approval must be sought at least six weeks before the event.

How to Apply for a Professional Development Grant:

To apply, complete the Professional Development Request form (pdf).

A budget outlining all anticipated expenses must be submitted with the form. If travel is required, an approved travel request from the applicant’s supervisor must be included.

The application will then be reviewed by the Provost’s Office, and applicants will receive notification of approval or denial via email.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of the Provost at provost@delhi.edu or 4540.
