Grants for Academic Enrichment

With the understanding that the crisis may continue and make travel impossible,  we are still accepting applications that involve international travel. If your project ends up being delayed or canceled, we will work with you to see if we can postpone the trip, or put the funds toward a related project. If this is not possible, the funds will not be disbursed.

FAQ

NTC grants support academic projects and research, academic conference travel (for presenters), virtual conference attendance, internship travel and related costs, some service projects, and other projects related to one's studies or academic-related interests.

What is Not Covered

• Food costs (unless you're a digital media production or film student).
• Stipends or salaries. Costs for any program or course where you are receiving credit.
• Costs to take classes or courses, whether for credit or not for credit.
• Study Abroad tuition costs. Start-up ventures.
• For-profit or non-profit companies that either require a high donation fee or charge a high fee to place you with an internship or "voluntourism"-oriented excursion.
• Personal items such as medical insurance, cell phones, etc.
• Durable items or supplies (cameras, etc.) that are over $100 (unless you intend for them to remain the property of your department.)
• NTC will also not fund travel to countries on the U.S. State Department’s Travel Advisory List that are designated as “Level 3: Reconsider Travel” or “Level 4: Do Not Travel.”
• Travel costs for attending a conference without presenting (virtual conferences okay).
• Projects or travel for student organizations. Global Brigades trips, effective 2019-2020 school year.

Please delay purchases—especially travel related—for as long as you can. If your project ends up becoming impossible to finish (or you will graduate beforehand), you will need to pay back the grant. This is the last thing we want to be asking students to do. If your project ends up not being possible to complete, we encourage you still to list the award on your resume or CV. A reminder that students must use grant funds while they are undergraduates of Newcomb-Tulane College. In other words, funds need to be used prior to graduation.

Please email us at ntcgrants@tulane.edu if you have further questions.
