Elliott/Upitis/Bamji Travel Fellowship - Faculty Members

History and Purpose of Fellowship

These travel fellowships are available because of generous bequests to the Faculty of Education from Charles Martyn Elliott and Kathleen Meed Elliott, from Z.R. Upitis, and from Dr. Pervez (Perry) Bamji and Mrs. Annamaria Bamji.

The Elliott Travel Fellowships will be awarded to Queen’s Education faculty members for study outside Canada in the field of teacher education or related fields. Awards may also be made to faculty members from outside Canada to enable them to come to Queen’s Faculty of Education to work with Queen’s Education faculty members and students in the field of teacher education or related fields.

Eligibility

Faculty members are all those on continuing appointments, including continuing and renewable adjunct faculty.

In order to be consistent with other Queen’s travel awards faculty members are not eligible to apply for support in consecutive years for themselves or for faculty members outside of Canada.

Preparing the Proposal and Budget

Awards may be used for travel expenses, living expenses, academic fees (payable both to Queen’s University and other institutions) and other expenses necessary to carry out the program of study. Normally, conference attendance is not considered study abroad unless the conference is part of a larger program of study abroad.

Preference will be provided to studies with small budgets and potentially high impact. (Maximum award per member/per year is $5,000.00).

Application Procedures and Deadlines

A specific study and budget must be proposed, and submitted with an application form. Please refer to the Terms of Reference for additional guidelines surrounding the proposal and budget.

Applications must be submitted by Monday, April 16, 2012 to:

Chair

Elliott/Upitis/Bamji Travel Fellowship Advisory Committee

c/o Chelsea Barna in A101, Duncan McArthur Hall

Faculty of Education, Queen’s University

How and When Awards Are Announced

The advisory committee will assess the applications and, subsequent to approval from the Dean of Education, a letter will be sent to individual applicants by April 30, 2012.

Report to be Submitted

Following the completion of the study, recipients of an award are required to produce a report for the Dean of Education, outlining the results of their research. The format and structure of this report is flexible. The report must be submitted to Chelsea Barna in Education Career Services (A101).

Any public form of communication and report must maintain the anonymity of people and places. Thus, in the final report, real names of people and places must not be disclosed, and information that reveals the identities of specific persons or places must not be used.
