University Faculty Scholars Program

The University Faculty Scholars Program, established in 2012 by Chancellor Woodson to recognize and reward emerging academic leaders among our faculty, identifies approximately twenty (20) tenured or tenure-track faculty scholars each year. Faculty members selected as University Faculty Scholars receive a 5% permanent increase to their base salary and will retain the title of University Faculty Scholar for the duration of their appointment at NC State.

CVM PROCESS: Each department to nominate 1-2 faculty and submit names to the college nomination. The college committee will consist of 2 full professors (at least 3 years from time of promotion to full promotion) from each department. Committee members will meet to discuss the nominations and will vote to nominate a name(s) for university consideration. The Associate Dean of Research & Graduate Studies will serve as an Ad Hoc member to call the meeting and provide staff support.

  • Assistant professors who have been reappointed for a second term
