Internal Funding
Faculty Scholarship Awards
Faculty Scholarships provide support to promote faculty research and creative activity and enhance external funding potential. Scholarships are awarded by the Faculty Scholarship Council and are administered by the Office of Sponsored Programs. WKU's mission focuses on scholarship in its four forms - discovery, integration, application, and teaching - thus, all scholarly activity by faculty, regardless of the discipline, is encompassed in this definition of scholarship.
New Faculty Scholarships support project operating costs of up to $4,000 for regular, full-time, tenure-track WKU faculty members within the first three years of appointment or following promotion to assistant professor rank.
Regular Faculty Scholarships support project operating costs of up to $2,000 for all regular, full-time, tenured or tenure-track WKU faculty members.
Summer Faculty Scholarships support project operating costs of up to $6,000 for regular, full-time, tenured or tenure-track WKU faculty members. Up to $5,000 may be used for principal investigator summer salary (including cost-shared fringe benefits). For support for summer 2010, proposals are due by 4:00 p.m. October 12, 2009 in OSP - Potter Hall 301.
