Applying for Funding

The Office of the Provost may have funding available to support speakers, visitors, and events such as lectures, seminars, and symposia. Requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Host academic units are expected to provide partial support. Visitors and speakers selected for support typically have received high recognition in their fields. All events funded through the Office of the Provost — including lectures, seminars, symposia, etc. — must be free and accessible to the general university community.

Priority will be given to events that:

• appeal to a wide-ranging public,
• address campus-wide priorities,
• show funding from and appeal to multiple departments or units, and
• have thoughtful budgets and marketing

To apply for funding please contact Assistant Provost Shruti Rana. Please note that this funding is intended for faculty-focused events and initiatives. For more information on funding for student events or programs, please see: Resource Guide for Students // Student Affairs // University of Missouri.
