The Collaboration’s Travel Grants Program was created with the generous support of the Bush Foundation to increase involvement in Collaboration activities by faculty and staff from Native American tribal and private historically black colleges and universities with a history of Bush Foundation faculty development funding by providing financial assistance for registrations and travel expenses. From 1992–2008, The Collaboration provided a total of $386,132 to support 82 presenters and 598 other participants from 25 TCUs and 23 HBCUs at Collaboration conferences and institutes. The participation of these individuals and institutions has contributed significantly to the vibrancy of The Collaboration’s programs and professional community. Unfortunately, the Collaboration no longer has Bush Foundation funding to support the Travel Grants Program, and will not be making additional awards until further notice. In the meantime, we are seeking other sources of support to continue this valuable program.
