Sabbatical Leaves
Three full-year sabbaticals at one-half salary for the year will be available. Also, three one-semester sabbaticals with full salary for the year will also be available. Complete information concerning preparation of the proposal and the sabbatical leave is found in the Faculty Handbook.

Professional Development Stipend Grants
