What can Faculty Development Funds be used for?

Faculty development is defined as any activity that encourages faculty to acquire knowledge, skills, techniques, and attitudes to provide quality teaching and develop research/scholarly/creative activity and effective service at Fort Hays State University. Development is viewed as a process that is systematic and carefully planned. The plan is to be tailored to the individual and the individual’s contribution to the Department, the College, and the University. This is traditionally interpreted as conference registration, conference travel, workshops, webinars, and other professional development events but can be used for other resources too.

Before Submitting

Before submitting an application, please read the Definition, Criteria, and Procedures listed on the Office of the Provost’s website.
