Applications open for WSU Teaching Academy Conference Registration Awards

Thanks to generous support from the WSU Teaching Academy, WSU faculty and instructors can apply for funding to support teaching conference expenses over the upcoming year. These awards cover the cost of registration fees to attend a conference/meeting/workshop that will directly enhance the applicant’s classroom teaching and/or scholarship of teaching.

Eligibility requirements:

Applicants must be a current, full-time WSU faculty member at the rank of lecturer or higher at the time of application. They do not have to be members of the WSU Teaching Academy.
The conference/meeting/workshop must take place between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026.
- Applications for conferences that have already occurred are acceptable.
Recipients of the award must agree to present a “takeaway” from their conference attendance to the WSU teaching community in support of WSU’s ongoing peer development teaching initiatives.

All applications will be reviewed by a committee and competitively rated based on how attendance enhances the teaching of the applicant. Awards will be made according to the strength of each application, available funds, and the number of applicants.

Questions can be directed to Nicholas Cerruti, WSU Teaching Academy grants and awards committee chair, ncerruti@wsu.edu.
