Columbia College Dean's Travel Fund

The Columbia College Dean's Travel Fund provides financial support to currently enrolled Columbia College students for domestic or international travel, networking, competitions, conferences and/or service work connected to recognized student group  activities. Columbia College Student Council proposed the Columbia College Travel Fund, which is generously financed by the dean of Columbia College and administratively supported by Undergraduate Student Life.

Please anticipate one to two weeks turnaround time for review of your application.

The travel fund is no longer accepting applications for the 2022-2023 academic year.

Who should apply?

Currently enrolled Columbia College students and representatives from Activities Board at Columbia, Student Governing Board and InterGreek Council recognized student groups may apply for funding on behalf of the Columbia College students who will be traveling. Students who apply for and receive funding must be in good academic and judicial standing.

Priority is given to applicants who provide a thorough and realistic projected budget and to first-time applicants. Please note that individual students and/or groups may apply for funding more than once.

How is funding awarded?

Amounts are based on the strength of the application and the funds available. These may be awarded up to, but may not exceed, 100% of the total request. Registration, lodging and transportation are allowable expenses from the fund. However, funding may not be used for reimbursements or for car rentals. 

Students seeking opportunities for support of individual summer internships should review the Center for Career Education Funding Programs.  

Application Review

You must complete an online application at least 30 days in advance of traveling for domestic trips and eight weeks for international trips to be considered. Please anticipate one to two weeks turnaround time for review of your application.

Applications are reviewed by Student Engagement.
