What is the COIL Initiative Fund?
The Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Initiative Fund was created by KPU International in 2022 to support internationalization at home efforts by way of COIL. Faculty taking on a first-time COIL project are eligible to receive a one-time project grant of $500.
The COIL Grant aims to motivate KPU faculty to participate in COIL, a perfect tool to internationalize the curriculum and a great opportunity for professional development.
The COIL Initiative Fund aims to support KPU faculty innovation in adopting COIL practices in their classrooms, recognizing their contribution in the internationalization of curriculum and in providing opportunities for students to engage globally.
Who Is Eligible for the COIL Initiative Fund?
Applicants must be a regular KPU faculty employee, either full-time or part-time. Please refer to regular KPU faculty employee definitions as outlined in the faculty collective agreement. See Article 1, Section 1.05 (Definitions).
