Fellowship Overview
The Wicklander Fellowship gives awardees a $5,000 stipend paid during the course of the academic year; a $2,000 summer stipend; and a professional development fund of $5,000 to cover travel, supplies, etc., that can be used during a two-year period. When possible, faculty are given a one-course teaching reduction during the year of the fellowship, which is up to the discretion of the awardee's department.
There is an expectation that the awardee will publish the research produced during the fellowship and submit the published work to the Institute for Business & Professional Ethics once the article, book, book chapter, etc., has been sent out for publication. All applicants must include a line in the cover letter that confirms their understanding to fulfill this publishing expectation.
Faculty receiving the award are expected to give the annual Wicklander lecture, usually scheduled in late May/early June.
How to Apply
Interested faculty should prepare a one- to three-page description of the proposed research project as it relates to applied or professional ethics, a letter from the chair or dean supporting the nomination, a cover letter (including the language mentioned above) and a CV.
