Asian / Asian American Faculty Staff Association’s Resources
- Professional Development Application – AAAFSA is providing financial support to its members for various professional development opportunities, such as conferences, workshops, classes, etc. Funding amounts are open, but will typically be around $450 or less depending on the account balance for that academic year. If you have a specific idea that will cost more, please apply and be specific about what the funds will be used for. If you are not currently a member but would like to become a member of AAAFSA, please visit https://sites.utexas.edu/aaafsa/. Please note it may take up to 3 – 4 weeks to make a decision, so apply early! Funds will be awarded on a rolling basis, so you can apply for more than one professional development opportunity. You will be notified via email.
