FACULTY DEVELOPMENT AWARD
The Faculty Development Award, a new initiative of the UNCF/Mellon Faculty Career Enhancement Programs, provides a limited number of course release and faculty support grants to faculty teaching at UNCF and Mellon affiliated institutions. This award is to be used to support a faculty member receiving release time from one course per semester or to support activities related to the furtherance of the faculty member's research agenda. Preference is given to MMUF or UNCF newly minted Ph.D.s who have chosen to teach within the UNCF consortium of institutions.
