The Fulton School of Liberal Arts supports the continued improvement of teaching capabilities and scholarly endeavors in order that its faculty stay abreast of the current developments in their disciplines and engage in research that contributes to the advancement of knowledge. Such projects serve to enhance normal teaching duties and research expectations for the liberal arts faculty. Through the generosity of the Charles R. and Martha N. Fulton Endowment, a grant fund has been established to support faculty interested in curriculum development and research.
Outright grants are awarded three times annually, release time is awarded twice annually.
Funding is available for extraordinary projects outside the framework of the dates listed for up to two years in advance of the current granting period. Funding for these projects will be given the lowest priority and any funds received will go into escrow until the date needed. Until these funds are used or declined, no further grants to the individual will be available from this committee. No applications will be considered from previous recipients who have not submitted their reports. Curriculum Development Grants Individuals or groups may apply for a semester stipend, or release time, in order to increase the ability to use new scholarship or to become proficient in new areas of specialization or creativity, or to revise or create a new curriculum program.
