Fellowship Opportunities
Below we list some of the major fellowships available to faculty members. Faculty fellowships are often short-term awards awarded to a faculty member to support their academic pursuits. Fellowships are sponsored by a specific association, organization, or institution which sets the eligibility requirements and outlines the process for applying. There are several benefits to participating in a fellowship. Fellowships can provide opportunities for cultural immersion; they can provide focused writing time or time to pursue new areas of study; and, they can expand your professional network, to name a few.
