University of North Texas 
Conference Support Program
The Conference Support program aims to help full-time faculty members become more outwardly visible in their field and develop robust professional networks to support their career development, including achieving tenure and promotion. UNT will reimburse each awardee's department for up to $1,000 towards participation in a national or international conference, performance, development, or showcase venue relevant to their field. The faculty member will be expected to make a presentation of a suitable nature in their field (i.e., a talk, performance, gallery show, etc.) at the venue and show evidence that new networks and collaborations have been created
All full-time faculty members actively participating in Faculty Success's Faculty Mentoring Program who have not received this award in the past four years are eligible to apply. Any start-up funds must be exhausted before applying. Preference will be given to requests from Assistant Professors to support developing networks to achieve tenure and promotion. Preference will also be given to requests from professional faculty members in their first 6 years at UNT and those without other funding sources to support conference travel.
Faculty members awarded Conference Support must submit a report four weeks after travel ends to receive reimbursement for their department. For more information about Conference Support, including due dates and details about the reimbursement process, please see the memo below.
