Hewlett Fund for Curricular Innovation
Grants or matching funds are available to one or more continuing faculty members or departments for projects that enhance undergraduate curricular innovation and development. Grants to individual faculty members generally range from $500 to $5,000, although groups and programs/departments may apply for larger grants.
What can the grants cover?
- It should be emphasized that the Fund is designated for curricular improvement; for example, for planning and evaluation studies, experimentation, program and curricular initiation, equipment for classrooms and teaching laboratories, or response to special opportunities not funded within the College's normal budget.
- The fund is not to be used for such activities typically in the College's budget as: regular instructional or administrative salaries; standard faculty leaves; faculty research, except as it relates to undergraduate teaching responsibilities; plant construction, renovation or maintenance. Nor is it designed to fund continuing activities.
