Award for faculty scholarship

The UNCW Award for Faculty Scholarship is awarded annually to the faculty member who has made, and continues to make, a significant contribution to the university and the academic community through a commitment to scholarship, research, and creativity. The recipient of the $1500 award is announced by the president of the Faculty Senate at the fall convocation.

Nominees for the Award for Faculty Scholarship must be current full-time members of the UNCW faculty and must have exhibited genuine interest in scholarship, research, and creativity; earned the respect of colleagues and peers; maintained high standards of quality and integrity; fostered interest and involvement of students and colleagues in scholarship and creative work; and demonstrated a significant contribution to scholarship, research, and creativity at UNCW.

A "call for nominations" is sent out to all faculty early in the spring semester and nominations may be submitted by any member of the UNCW faculty. A selection committee, designated by the chancellor, makes its final recommendation to the president of the Faculty Senate.
