The University of Pennsylvania’s South Asian Center is offering three grants of $1,500 each for teachers to travel on GEEO's India and Nepal program running from July 30 to August 15, 2023. More information about the program can be found here.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey educators who apply before April 13th will be given special consideration, but anyone is welcome to apply at any point, and grants will be awarded on a rolling basis based on the quality of the applications, with preference given to educators from districts with limited resources.

Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to sharing their travel experiences in the classroom the following academic year. Grant recipients will be required to create a lesson plan by the end of the fall 2023 semester.
Applicants who are offered a grant will have 72 hours to accept the grant by completing the GEEO program's booking form and paying a $350 deposit. The grant will cover $1,500 of the remainder of the program fee. All travel costs not covered by the grant, including the balance of the GEEO program fee and international airfare, are the responsibility of the grant recipient. Round-trip airfare is approximately $1,900-2,000 from Philadelphia and $1,650-1,800 from JFK.
