ACSA College of Distinguished Professors Travel Grants for Emerging Faculty

Submission Deadline: October 15th 

Beginning October 2025, ACSA will offer eight conference travel grants to member school faculty who face obstacles to inclusion in architectural education. The grants will support qualified faculty seeking to attend the ACSA Administrators Conference, November 6-8, 2025, in Fayetteville, AK, or the ACSA114 Annual Meeting, March 26-28, 2026, in Chicago, IL.

The $2,000 USD grants are intended to support emerging, early career faculty. The travel grants are made possible through contributions collected by ACSA’s College of Distinguished Professors and funds allocated by the ACSA Board of Directors.

Individuals applying for the grant are not required to be on the Administrators Conference program or have an accepted paper or project for the Annual Meeting. All decisions regarding awards will remain confidential.

The travel grants stem from a recognition that architectural education—and specifically, ACSA’s conferences— benefit from the inclusion of more faculty and students. Academic conferences provide important sites for exchange of ideas and experiences among faculty. They also provide an opportunity for faculty to expand and deepen their network of colleagues. This helps faculty advance in the profession and creates opportunities for collaboration in research and teaching.

SUBMISSION

Submissions will be accepted through an online interface beginning September 2025 and must be received through the online submission site by October 15, 2025. Components of a submission include:

  1. Name, University Affiliation, Email Address
  2. PDF upload of the following, in a single PDF, in this order: a) Condensed CV (3 pages maximum); b) Interest Statement (no more than 300 words): What are your reasons for attending the conference? In what ways does your institution support travel for faculty? How will participating in the conference advance your career?
  3. Testament (check box): “I attest to a lack of or limits on institutional funding for conferences and travel.”

ELIGIBILITY

Individuals with a fall 2025 faculty appointment at an ACSA member school that has paid dues for the 2025-26 academic year are eligible to apply.
