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

<\/p>\n

Student organizations may request funding from the SOTF to support travel to off-campus events\u2014such as regional, state, or national conferences, competitions, and training opportunities\u2014where they represent the University of Tennessee. To be eligible for support through the SOTF, \u00a0proposed travel must align with the organization\u2019s mission and purpose, reflect the mission of the university, and demonstrate a meaningful impact on the organization\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Fall 2026 & Spring 2027 Information:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the academic year for travel occurring between September 1, 2026 \u2013 June 30, 2027.<\/p>\n
