Submit completed applications electronically to Foundation@greenriver.edu by November 5, 2026. Late applications will not be accepted. The Faculty Excellence Committee may contact you for further Faculty Excellence information prior to making the funding recommendation. Awards will be announced before the end of December 2026 or ASAP. Additional funding may be requested in future application cycles, if warranted. The Faculty Excellence Awards are not meant to replicate the awards granted by the Faculty Development Committee, though they may work hand in hand. The latter awards are intended primarily for personal activities that enrich and enhance teaching and learning. The Faculty Excellence Awards, on the other hand, are primarily for collaborative projects that are more directly related to in-class activities and materials. Only personnel with faculty assignments are eligible to receive Faculty Excellence Awards.
