This award is designed to support the cost of extraordinary expenses related to specific faculty projects (research, scholarship, and/or teaching). Funding requests are accepted on a rolling basis, but the committee will specifically solicit faculty requests twice during the academic year, once in the early Fall (mid-October) and once in the early Spring (mid-March).

As part of that request, faculty will submit a paragraph outlining the nature and purpose of the request, its relationship to the larger project, and an itemized budget. To provide fair and equitable access to the funds, the committee can only approve up to $330 ($5,000 divided by 15, the current number of full-time faculty) during the Fall round of requests. During the Spring round, the amount awarded will depend on the number of requests received and the remaining funds. Please see the full description for acceptable uses of faculty funds.
