The SEC Faculty Travel Grant program is intended to enhance faculty collaboration that stimulates scholarly initiatives between SEC universities. This program provides faculty members from each SEC university the opportunity to travel to other SEC campuses to exchange ideas, develop grant proposals, present lectures, conduct research and deliver performances. Participation in this program is continuous throughout the academic year, with recipients being announced in mid-October.
