The Course Development Fellowships program offers a course development summer stipend of $3,000 to eligible faculty, one portion at the beginning of the program and the remainder once the course syllabus is submitted at the end by the academic year. The stipend includes a short, two-day, intensive summer workshop on the Catholic intellectual tradition and an opportunity for a faculty colleague to function as mentor as the faculty members develop their course.
