Faculty Fellowship Program

The Provost’s Faculty Fellows Program provides one-semester salary support to selected faculty members to facilitate their completion of applications for preeminent international and national fellowships or awards.  The Provost’s Faculty Fellows are underwritten by a $25,000 award from the Office of the Provost to the fellow’s department.  The award provides one semester of course(s) buyout for the faculty member based on his or her typical teaching load.  Each year, pending availability of funds, it is expected that two to three Faculty Fellows will be awarded.
