Summer Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Grants

There will be no funding for projects in Summer, 2009

Scholarship is creative intellectual work, which is valued and validated by our peers, and communicated or made public.

The Scholarship of Teaching often begins with the search for a solution to a problem or issue in the classroom. The solution may include the use of educational technology, or it may involve the application of other instructional approaches. The solution will inevitably benefit other teachers and students on campus and beyond, and so reporting, presentation, or publication of findings and outcomes is important.

The Purdy Crawford Teaching Centre supports the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at Mount Allison by providing grants to those involved in pedagogical research or discovery. The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Grants promote and support the development and implementation of new and creative solutions to teaching and learning issues. Proposals from all disciplines, as well as those that are interdisciplinary, are welcome.

Those who hold these grants will be designated PCTC Teaching and Learning Scholars.

Granting Period
There is one call for proposals in April each year for Summer projects that run May-August.
Any applicant or co-applicant may receive only one award in a fiscal year.

Please Note . . . .
While small amounts of financial support (up to $100) may be granted at the discretion of the PCTC Director to support teaching and learning projects at other times, in the interests of fairness and transparency, all requests for PCTC funding over $100 must be made by proposal and follow the application guidelines below.
Discretionary awards are subject to the same limitations as those listed in the
