Per the Dean's Office, "The current maximum amounts available are $1500 for tenure stream faculty, $1000 for senior lecturers, $500 for lecturers and $250 for academic year adjunct lecturers. Grant requests are evaluated in the last week of each month and require the recommendations from the department chair. If a chair is requesting a grant, the AD will make the recommendation. All request are subject to availability of funds."
For Undergraduate Travel, "If sufficient resources are available, the dean also provides travel support of up to $750 for students presenting at national and international academic conferences or meetings. Students must either co-present with campus faculty mentor/sponsor, or be nominated by SCU faculty, or be the successful choice after a competitive academic process. Requests are made directly to the senior assistant dean and the amount awarded depends on the availability of resources."
