Faculty Grants and Awards

Wheaton seeks to nurture intercultural competency in faculty as well as students. Global Programs and Studies provides resources to help faculty and staff globalize the Wheaton experience for students while also enhancing their own cross-cultural capabilities.

Faculty may apply for grants focused on curriculum development. These grants provide funds to revise or create new courses or to develop library resources that will bring a substantial global or cross-cultural perspective to the curriculum or contribute in demonstrable ways to the development of inter-cultural competency.  Grant monies may be used to purchase or locate course-related materials, references, or equipment; to attend conferences, workshops, or other professional development opportunities directly relevant to the proposed course content or library resources; to design new course content or activities; to conduct research that will clearly contribute to the proposed project; or to pursue other activities consistent with the purposes of the grant.
