Summer Scholarship of Teaching + Learning
Summer Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
The Summer Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Grant Program, funded by Blugold Commitment Differential Tuition, supports educator/student collaborative projects for development of teaching-related research projects or curricular revisions.
Research projects or curriculum development will occur during the summer in collaboration with one or more students. Awards include an educator stipend ($2,300), one or more student stipends ($2,300 each), and up to $600 for materials. Funds will be available from July 1 until October 15.
Projects that involve two educators ($2,300 stipend will be split), and up to four students ($4,600) working together are acceptable. Project participants will participate in consultations with CETL staff designed to help collaboratively create effective projects. Projects should lead to presentations and/or publication of results where possible.
Travel is not funded in this grant. Please refer to ORSP’s website for travel support opportunities.
