Funding to participate in CIVIS

The University of Glasgow has dedicated funds to participate in CIVIS opportunities as a full member of the Alliance.

We are committed to support staff and students in joining the CIVIS community to co-create academic programmes, to extend their professional network, and to develop their skills.

Funding for staff

The University of Glasgow has dedicated funds to support staff engagement in CIVIS activities and staff mobility within the Alliance. 

If you would like to participate in the co-creation of a programme, respond to a CIVIS call for proposals, or participate in one of the staff activities, please contact civis@glasgow.ac.uk to discuss your project. 

If you are already involved in an activity, we’d love to hear from you too. 

Please note that, as a result of the UK not associating with the Erasmus+ programme, UofG staff cannot access CIVIS EU funding.

You may be able to access other sources of funding. Please visit the Internationalisation Funding Opportunities pages.

Funding for students

CIVIS Travel grants 

Travel grants worth £550 are available to participate in CIVIS short-term ‘in-person’ activities, as a contribution to travel and subsistence costs.  

Eligibility:  

  • You must be a fully registered student at the time of application. – Part-time students on a degree programme are eligible to apply.  
  • You must in receipt of an offer to participate in a short CIVIS activity taking place abroad (e.g. Blended Intensive Programmes).  
  • You cannot be in receipt of another UofG scholarships, e.g. GoAbroad for summer scholarship, etc.  

Application  

Submit your CIVIS travel Grant application as soon as you receive an offer for your chosen programme.

Applications are reviewed on a monthly basis and there are multiple rounds of awards, linked to the round of Applications to CIVIS programmes, typically in November, February and May.

Priority will be given to students from a Widening Participation background, those who would not otherwise be able to go abroad without the travel award, and those who have not yet undertaken a period abroad as part of their degree.

Travel grants are only valid for the current academic year and cannot be carried forward to the following year.
