As designers and technicians, we spend so much time doing meticulous research so we can recreate hundreds of different times, people, and places on stage. Thanks to modern tech, we're able to find most information at the click of a button. But there's nothing like hands-on, in-person research. USITT is here to help you fund your next research expedition with the help of our International Travel Grants. These grants are awarded to students and professionals who want to expand their knowledge and experience through travel! 

This grant will fund projects that:

• Seek new knowledge through international travel to exhibitions, productions, and collections; or
• Provide opportunities in design for international companies; and
• Include a method of sharing experiences with the USITT Membership
