Faculty Enrichment Grants
Enrichment Grants offer UNCSA faculty an opportunity to augment student learning by subsidizing costs of virtual and local off-campus performances, exhibits, screenings and guest lectures. These grants are awarded on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Due to continued public health concerns, faculty are encouraged to pursue virtual options, though some in-person experiences may be considered on a case-by-case basis. In order for an off-campus travel request to be considered, faculty must get the approval of their school's dean. This policy may be revised based on Kenan Institute and UNCSA policies.
Examples of virtual uses of funds:
- Honorariums for virtual guest speakers
- Costs related to streamed performances
- Virtual conferences or masterclasses
In order to receive advanced funding, faculty members must submit this request to the Kenan Institute for the Arts at least two weeks prior to the event. If you request funding for an event less than two weeks in advance, you may be reimbursed within 2-3 weeks. However, it is recommended that faculty DO NOT make purchases prior to submitting an application, since funding is not guaranteed until the application is approved.
