Now Accepting Applications for the Mary Todd Sabbatical Award
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi – the nation’s oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society – is currently accepting applications for its Mary Todd Sabbatical Award, named in honor of its former Executive Director, Dr. Mary Todd.
This prestigious award, valued at $50,000, will be presented annually to one outstanding faculty member to support a sabbatical year or similar reassignment of duties, allowing them to focus on research, writing, or other professional development activities. The Society recognizes the importance of providing faculty members with the time and resources necessary to explore new ideas, collaborate with colleagues, and make significant contributions to their disciplines.
“This award is designed to support our exceptional faculty members in their pursuit of the love of learning, providing them with the time and resources needed to advance their research and professional development. By fostering their scholarly passions, we are reinforcing Phi Kappa Phi’s commitment to celebrating and advancing the love of learning across all academic disciplines. We are confident that this initiative will uphold our tradition of academic excellence, and we look forward to the impactful contributions it will enable for years to come,” said Society Executive Director and CEO Dr. Bradley R. Newcomer.
Applications for the award will be open to active members who are faculty members. A committee of esteemed professionals will review the applications and select the recipient based on their demonstrated excellence, potential for impact, and alignment with the Society’s mission and values.
The award was added to Society’s already robust portfolio of awards in 2023, which currently gives more than $1 million annually to deserving members and students.
The deadline to apply for the Sabbatical Award is Oct. 1, 2024 To learn more about the award, visit www.phikappaphi.org/sabbatical.
