Speaker Grants

Speaker Grants

The University Committee for the Advancement of Teaching (UCAT) is pleased to offer Speaker Fund grants, intended to support the bringing of preeminent speakers within individual disciplines to UNO to interact with faculty, students, and staff across campus. Grants can be used to fund speaker fees, event costs, lodging, and travel expenses.

Speaker Grant Information

Speaker Grants will be funded up to $1,500 per application.

Colleges are encouraged to invite preeminent speakers in their disciplines to interact with UNO faculty members. Although the speaker's topic may be discipline specific, all UNO faculty members should be invited to attend at least one session with the speaker. 

All UCAT grant applications will be completed through online systems.  NO PAPER copies of applications will be accepted.

It is strongly encouraged that all applications be reviewed by your UCAT college representative prior to final submission.  A list of college representatives may be found this website.

Poorly described, incomplete, or unclear applications will be rejected.

Faculty may not receive more than one award for each grant category for the academic year.

Applicants will be informed of the funding decision following the UCAT committee meeting held following the application deadline.

All previous grant reports must be submitted prior to consideration of new grant applications.
