Student Organization Travel Fund

The Student Organization Travel Fund (SOTF) offers registered student organizations the opportunity to request supplemental funding to support travel-related opportunities.

Student organizations may request funding from the SOTF to support travel to off-campus events—such as regional, state, or national conferences, competitions, and training opportunities—where they represent the University of Tennessee. To be eligible for support through the SOTF,  proposed travel must align with the organization’s mission and purpose, reflect the mission of the university, and demonstrate a meaningful impact on the organization’s effectiveness.

Student organizations are limited to $3500 per academic year with travel costs not exceeding $500 per eligible student. Additionally, as it is intended to be a supplement to organization’s overall travel costs, the SOTF will only provide approved funding for 1-2 aspects (ex: registration, fleet management costs, etc.) of a student organization’s trip.

Summer 2026 Information:

There will be a single application cycle for travel occurring between July 1, 2026 and August 30, 2026.

Late submissions and requests submitted after travel has occurred will not be considered, with no exceptions.
Please check back on August 1, 2026 for Fall 2026 application and submission timeline.
