Faculty Excellence Grants

Provost Robert Mokwa, through the Center for Faculty Excellence, invites applications from tenure track faculty for the Faculty Excellence Grants (FEG) Program. The FEGs will have a maximum award of $5,000 each. The goal of FEGs is to enable faculty to engage in activities that will enhance scholarship.
