At least three awards will be given to tenure-track Assistant Professors or Librarians I and II, who are in their first four years at Towson University. All academic disciplines are welcome. If you are a TU tenured senior faculty member, you may be interested in applying to the Provost’s Research Fellows program.
FACET Scholar applications will be reviewed by a committee of TU faculty. The committee will select up to six scholars.
Each successful applicant will:
- Receive a $2,000 stipend to support original research, to be carried out from January through December 2025,
