General Guidelines
The CTLS Faculty Programming Grant (FPG) should NOT be viewed as the only source
of funding support for any proposed lecture, forum or symposium program. This is
intended as a supplemental grant only.
CTLS reserves the right to limit the total number of awards to any applicant and/or
department, and the amount awarded per semester, to ensure equitable distribution of
funds.
CTLS will base its decision regarding program funding on the following criteria:
1. The ability to reach a broad range of participants within the college community
2. The relevance of the program to the university’s strategic plan and or student
programs
3. Other sources of funding support secured
4. Total award dollars available.

and will be returned.
The Center for Teaching, Learning and Scholarship will consider only complete
applications containing specific and detailed program information. Please include the
presenter or lecturer’s vitae or supporting credentials. The submission of supplemental
information is highly encouraged. The CTLS department may make requests for
additional information, if necessary, before acting on an application.
Significant deviation from the approved application (i.e. change in speaker, date and/or
topic) must be approved in advance. Changes must be submitted in writing and
approved by the CTLS office. In the event the event is canceled, funding will be
withdrawn. Funding awards are not transferable from semester to semester. However,
an applicant is permitted to reapply for available funding the next semester.
Upon funding approval, an award letter and other essential forms will be forwarded to
the recipient. This award letter MUST be signed and returned since it is written
verification of the award, and is required to process payment. A minimum of 30 days

It is your responsibility, as award recipient, to make prior arrangements for receipt of
payment. Payment for the honorarium will be made payable tothe guest lecturer or
departmental account. All other bills will be made “payable to” a business or
departmental account. Award payments will be by transfer to departmental account or
by check.
Payment cannot be made to ASU faculty/staff or adjunct professors.
An attendance report is required at the completion of all funded events. This report
must be completed and returned within one (1) week following the event. At this time,
the award recipient, in addition to returning attendance figures, must attach copies of all
publicity and promotional materials (i.e. newspaper ads, flyers, posters and
programs).Failure to submit this information will adversely influence consideration of
