Internal Grants

Through a generous endowment provided by a capital campaign “Priorities for the 80s”, funds have been made available annually to support a number of internal grant programs specifically for professional development. Proposals are reviewed and approved for funding by members of the Faculty Development Committee, with oversight from the Director and the Chief Academic Officer.

The deadlines for submission of proposals are as follows. All proposals must be emailed by 4 p.m. of the designated day to the Faculty Development Center (facdevctr@stthomas.edu). If the deadline date appears on a weekend, the deadline date is the following Monday.
