Teaching Fellowship Program

The Trent Teaching Fellowship program supports faculty (CUPE and TUFA) as they make substantial, evidence-informed, and scalable changes to their teaching. Each Fellowship comes with a one-time grant of $6,000 that is used over a one to three-year period.

Applicants to the Trent Teaching Fellowship program are required to submit a proposal that explains how they would like to engage in the program, both the duration and stream of the project. Projects last from one to three years, and must be in one of three streams:

  • Curriculum (Course Re-design)
  • Scholarship on Teaching and Learning (Research Project)
  • Professional Development (Course or Training)

Applications are accepted as individuals or pairs.
