FYS Faculty Funds support small projects and innovative activities in the classroom. Requests for these limited funds will be evaluated by the FYS Advisory Committee twice yearly.
Eligibility
Applicants must have completed the FYS Training Institute and must be teaching FYS in the semester for which they are applying for funds.
Amount
Instructors may apply for a grant ranging from $50 to $200.
Example
An instructor wants to try a CSI-like activity with FYS students that will involve purchasing some supplies such as string, fake blood, gloves, fingerprint powder, tape and other related supplies. The activity underscores critical thinking and problem-solving and specifically targets inquiry-based thinking as well as integrative thinking. Instead of spending out-of-pocket for these supplies, s/he plans to apply for $150 in FYS funds.
