The Professional Development Award for Teaching and Learning Sponsored by the Fredonia College Foundation
(formerly the Fredonia College Foundation Faculty Fellowship Awards)
The Faculty Professional Development Award Program provides support for professional development activities related to instructional design or the exploration of instructional methods to enhance student learning. SUNY Fredonia acknowledges that faculty are teachers, scholars, professionals, and lifelong learners. To that end, these awards are meant to provide faculty, librarians, and professionals who have teaching responsibilities with opportunities for personal/professional/scholarly advancement that enhance and expand their knowledge and skill.
Explorations in Diversity and Academic Excellence
The Office of Diversity and Educational Equity invites applications from the state-operated universities and colleges of SUNY for support for innovative approaches that illuminate and strengthen the intersections between diversity and academic excellence.
Projects eligible for funding include, but are not limited to, improving the campus climate, improving access and success for students, course development and pedagogical innovations, conferences and symposia, film and speakers series, recruitment and retention of diverse faculty, campus-community dialogues, campus surveys that can be used to further any of the above, and other comparable programs.
Amy Elizabeth Everett Award
The award is named after the daughter of an emeritus member of our Political Science Department, Jack Everett and is limited to un-tenured, but tenure-track faculty in the Social Sciences with special consideration given to those in History and in Political Science.
Instructional Incentive Awards Program
The Instructional Incentive Awards Program is funded by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and involves three programs: Program (1) Instructional supplies, materials, software, etc., Program (2) Attend conferences, workshops or sessions that focus on improving teaching and learning, and Program (3) Promote knowledge of and discussion about teaching and learning developments on campus.
Individual Development Awards Program
The Individual Development Awards Program is open to all members of the bargaining unit represented by UUP, employed at Fredonia.
Scholarly Incentive Awards
The Scholarly Incentive Program was created in the fall of 1989 due to the increase in external funds on the campus and a commitment by the administration to stimulate, encourage, and endorse activities which advance knowledge of the faculty/staff in their fields, whether through research or in the creation of new works.

COPC Service Learning Incentive Awards
The purposes of the COPC Service Learning Incentive Awards are to (a) encourage a deeper link between SUNY Fredonia and the local community, and (b) actively engage students in this process. Grant requests must address at least one of the four COPC urban issues and demonstrate the potential for sustainability beyond the funding period. Applicants are encouraged to work in pairs or groups that include students, faculty, staff, community agencies, and/or community leaders. Funded proposals will demonstrate how students will be used in meaningful ways that enhance their knowledge and skills in campus–community activities that directly benefit the local community. Proposals for new and continuing initiatives are acceptable. Submissions seeking support for continuing initiatives must clearly demonstrate how the requested funds will significantly change or enhance on-going programs.
