Ad Hoc Funds Program
Faculty may apply to the Office of the DOF/VPAA for financial support via Ad Hoc Funds. These supplemental awards underwrite special scholarly, creative, or performance opportunities that fall outside the boundaries of programs administered by the Faculty Development Committee.; this may include opportunities that arise unexpectedly and therefore do not conform to the FDC's typical grant cycles. In general, however, priority will be given to requests for expenses not typically covered by FDC grants or other Skidmore funding opportunities. The application should explain how/why other sources of funding are not applicable.
If approved, faculty may receive full or partial funding, depending on the available budget and the nature of the request. If an Ad Hoc request is made for travel purposes, the special nature of the opportunity should be made clear; in most cases, faculty will be expected to use Travel to Read/Represent funding for conference attendance.
Those faculty members who have received an Ad Hoc grant in the prior year may not be eligible for a second award.
