Faculty Initiative Grants

CLOSING DATE: Friday, January 24, 2025

 
The ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ College Faculty Initiative Grant Program was established to encourage significant scholarly, curricular, and pedagogical efforts beyond what is funded through Faculty Development Grants.  In the spring, the FDC will make up to five awards of up to $3,000 each. The grant period will be between four to twelve months from start to finish. A final report on the project describing the results and significance of the work accomplished, as well as an expense report, is due at the close of that period.
 
The Faculty Initiative Grant is a competitive program open to full-time faculty eligible to return to ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ College for 2025-2026.
