Application Deadline: November 15
Purpose: The Tribal College Faculty Fellowship offers financial aid to selected faculty members currently working at tribally controlled colleges or at Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions (NASNTI’s) to attend the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) April 9–12, 2025, in Baltimore, MD. We are offering two Tribal College Faculty Fellowships in the amount of $1,500 each.
Featuring over 500 sessions focusing on teaching practices, writing and literacy programs, language research, history, theory, information technologies, and professional and technical communication, the annual CCCC meeting provides a forum for thinking, learning, networking, and presenting research on the teaching and learning of writing.
With this Fellowship, CCCC hopes to create new opportunities for Tribal College Faculty members and faculty at Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions to become involved in CCCC and for CCCC to carry out its mission of serving as a truly representative national advocate for language and literacy education.
Eligibility: Open to faculty members currently working at tribally controlled colleges or Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions. You do not need to present at the CCCC Convention in order to qualify for this award.
Award Specifics: The deadline for the 2025 award is November 15, 2024. Please submit an application letter (on institutional letterhead) describing:
- Who you are as a teacher and what you teach at your tribal college or Native American-Serving Nontribal Institution
- What your research interests are
- What you hope to gain from the experience of attending CCCC (how it could help you in your teaching or research)
Send your application letter to cccc@ncte.org
Award Criteria: A selection committee including American Indian Caucus members will review applications for the Tribal College Faculty Fellowship. Fellowship awards will be based on overall quality of the application letter.
Other Considerations: In the event that the CCCC Annual Convention moves to an online-only event with no in-person component, recipients will receive a complimentary registration for the convention in lieu of any travel funds.
