United Methodist Church Scholar/Teacher of the Year Award
Overview
The University Scholar/Teacher of the Year Award, established by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of The United Methodist Church, is conferred at colleges and universities historically affiliated with it. The award recognizes outstanding faculty members for their dedication and contributions to the learning arts and to the institution.
The Division of Higher Education of the Board of Higher Education and Ministry of The United Methodist Church specifies that the $2,000 unrestricted stipend be awarded in a public ceremony. This has traditionally occurred at the New Faculty Reception in mid-September. Applications may be submitted to the Office of the Provost during the month of July. The Division also requests that women and ethnic minorities be given high priority in the selection process.
