Faculty Development Committee
Charleston Southern University annually awards Faculty Development
funds through the Faculty Development Committee. Allocation
of funds requires the approval of the Vice President for Academic
Affairs. Faculty Development funds are not intended to replace
the department travel budget.
Funds awarded through the Faculty Development Committee should:
- enhance
the faculty member's teaching competence
or scholarship
- improve the current curriculum
- be distributed among as many academic disciplines and as
many faculty members as resources will allow.
To apply for Faculty Development Funds:
- Review the Guidelines
for CSU Faculty Development Funds
- Complete the Request
for Faculty Development Funds form
- Include a short paragraph explaining how funding will help
enhance your teaching competence or scholarship or improve
the current curriculum.
- Attach supporting documentation (conference/workshop brochures
or other literature, webpage address/URL) that describes
in some detail the event to be funded.
- If traveling, complete the Travel
Advance Form
- Submit completed forms to your department chair, who will
forward the forms to the appropriate dean.
- Deans will forward forms to the secretary of the dean of
Humanities and Social Sciences, who will coordinate approval
with the Faculty Development Committee. Do not submit
forms directly to the Faculty Development Committee.
- If you have any questions about your request for Faculty
Development funds, contact the secretary of the dean of Humanities
and Social Sciences
