Ongoing Faculty Development Funding Opportunties
Please note: Our final application deadline for this year has been changed to June 30. This is due to budget uncertainties associated with the pandemic and planning for 2020-2021.
Please look here to see the available funding sources along with relevant guidelines and possible uses. All funds are open to all full-time faculty and to part-time faculty who have taught at Guilford College for at least five consecutive years. Staff are eligible to apply for projects that are directly relevant to a course they are slated to teach.
You can apply for multiple funds at the same time.
Deadlines fall throughout the year, on September 30, November 30, March 30, and June 30.
After looking at the available options, please fill out this application by the next deadline. The application includes further instructions and links to relevant forms.
So far this fiscal year, amounts given to individuals have ranged from $200 to $2590, depending on the project and budget. The median amount given per project has been slightly more than a thousand dollars.
