SoTL Manuscript Completion Program

$1250* in summer salary (paid in June, subject to KSU fiscal policies). 

*Summer compensation counts towards the 33.33% maximum per faculty member. Overages may not be shifted to development funds in the future. All participants must provide the expected deliverables to receive the compensation.

To be considered, applicants must have a completed SoTL project ready to be written for publication by the time of the program. Applicants must also have achieved the "SoTL Learner" level of the SoTL Scaffold by the time of application.

Applications are judged by how well the proposed project meets the criteria outlined in this rubric. Applicants may find the resources in the Hopscotch 4-SoTL tool helpful as they prepare their application.

Applicants must commit to the entire timeline noted above. Collaborative projects are welcomed; however, only the lead author will participate in the program and receive funding. Funding is subject to receipt of the deliverable: a completed draft of a manuscript for submission to a SoTL journal or book editor.

Application Deadline for 2026 will be posted soon.

Applications are judged by how well the proposed project meets the criteria outlined in this rubric. Applicants will be notified of a decision within two weeks after the application deadline.

All KSU full-time, contracted faculty members are eligible for this program.

Applicants will submit through the InfoReady platform, which requires a log in with KSU credentials. As part of the routing process of the application, the application will route to the applicant’s chair or director for approval. We encourage applicants to let their chair/director know this will be coming their way. The deadline is for the applicant to complete their portion of the application (not for the approval from the chair/director and dean to be completed). Please use the link below to apply for this program.

You will receive an e-mail confirmation upon receipt. If you do not receive the confirmation e-mail, please contact CETL at cetl@kennesaw.edu. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the proposal was received by the deadline.

The application for 2026 will be posted soon.
