United Methodist Church University Scholar/Teacher of the Year Award
The United Methodist Church has discontinued funding the Scholar / Teacher of the Year Award. Beginning with the 2017-18 academic year, the Cutting-Edge Curriculum Annual Awards program recognizes faculty members at United Methodist-related colleges and universities who create new and exciting ways to engage young people in the classroom.
More information for this new award program can be found at https://www.gbhem.org/education/scu/faculty-awards.
The Division of Higher Education and the Board of Higher Education and Ministry of the United Methodist Church recognize that universities owe their strength and vitality to outstanding researchers who also excel in the classroom. The University Scholar/Teacher of the Year Award is established by the Division of Higher Education for the purpose of recognizing outstanding faculty members for their dedication and contributions to the learning arts and to the institution.
