Marquette Tenured Faculty Fellowships
To support scholarly and creative activities by Loyola University’s tenured and tenure-track faculty, the President and Provost announce the Marquette Faculty Fellowship Program.
Fellowship Information
All full-time, ordinary faculty in Loyola University's colleges, schools, and libraries are eligible to apply for the Marquette Faculty Fellowship. Up to five tenured faculty members will be named Marquette Faculty Fellows; up to five tenured-track faculty members will be named Marquette New Faculty Fellows. All fellows will receive stipends of $7,500 to support two months of full-time work on scholarly or creative projects during summer 2009. Fellows are eligible to receive an additional award of up to $500 to defray expenses related to the project. Fellows agree not to teach during the summer, perform administrative duties, or to receive compensation simultaneously for the same project from other funding sources. Fellows will be encouraged to participate in a faculty seminar during the fall semester following the fellowship.
The President and the Provost will select the Marquette Faculty Fellows upon the recommendation of the University Committee on Grants and Leaves. Alternates to that committee will be appointed for members who submit applications themselves. Recipients will be announced at the January convocation.
