Faculty Fellowships and Grants

As provided for in Faculty Legislation, the College makes available, through a competitive application process, grants and fellowships to support faculty research. This document describes: the availability and types of these grants and fellowships; who is eligible to apply for these grants and fellowships; how to apply for these grants and fellowships (including links to application forms); and how proposals are evaluated. Faculty grants and fellowships support faculty research, and in some cases joint research projects of faculty and students. These grants and fellowships do not normally support student independent research.

Eligibility -- The Faculty Grants Committee is charged with the responsibility of awarding funds to support research and other creative activities undertaken by the faculty of Mount Holyoke College. Permanent teaching faculty of all ranks and from all departments may submit proposals for all types of awards. Visiting faculty are eligible for Faculty Grants, Reese Grants, and Research Assistance Grants, but not for Faculty Fellowships. Applicants are expected to seek financial support from sources outside the College when applying for fellowships and grants.
