Scholarly Development Award Request

Scholarly Development Awards (aka "Small Grants") are designed to provide support to faculty as they pursue activities that will have a positive impact on their growth and development as scholars. Thus, these awards will support undertakings that support faculty research and other appropriate scholarly activities. Intended to serve all full-time faculty, these grants help individual faculty members pursue their professional objectives and opportunities in their disciplines.

  • You will be notified of approval by e-mail within 5 to 7 business days.
  • All full-time faculty are eligible to apply for scholarly development awards up to $700 per fiscal year.
  • If you do not have an M&T travel card, you may request a cash advance using this form. Your advance will be available up to 10 days prior to your departure. Please note: if you do not clear your advance within 15 days of traveling, you may not be eligible to receive another one during the academic year.
  • Please be reminded that meals will be reimbursed at the rate of $30 per day with or without receipts.

Any questions should be directed to acadean@stlawu.edu (SLU x5998) and a completed expense report must be submitted within 15 business days of the conclusion of your trip.
