What does GTLF mean in COMMUNITY

The Global Travel and Learning Fund (GTLF) is an opportunity for individuals to gain knowledge and experience through travel. It provides travel grants that help fund educational trips abroad, allowing individuals to gain unique cultural insight in a variety of different countries.

Anyone over the age of 18 with a genuine interest in learning about other cultures can apply for the GTLF. Applicants must be able to clearly articulate how they plan to use their grant money to further their educational goals while traveling abroad.

The amount of funding awarded depends on applicants' individual circumstances, such as the length of the trip, number of participants, etc. All applications are reviewed by a panel of experts who decide which applicants will be awarded funds based on their merit and projected outcomes from their trip.

No, GTLF only awards partial funding towards selected applicants' expenses, such as plane tickets or accommodation fees. It does not cover all costs associated with taking a trip, so applicants should consider other sources of funding when planning their journey.

Yes, you may reapply up to two times each year if your application was denied by the panelists originally reviewing it. If you chose to reapply for funding but did not make any changes or improvements to your original application, then there is no guarantee that your second attempt will be successful either. Reapplicants are encouraged to review their application more carefully before submitting it again.
