Are you interested in applying to the PTF program? Get started here!

The Provost's Teaching Fellows program accepts applications from interested instructors during the Fall semester. Before beginning the application process we highly recommend potential applicants review the program’s most recent Impact Report and check out the Project Directory for more information on who the PTFs are and some of the initiatives fellows have enacted. You can also check out the PTF Calendar for upcoming events.

The application process for the 2023 Provost’s Teaching Fellows cohort has begun! Here’s what you can expect over the coming months as a potential applicant:

Interested potential applicants must complete the brief Intent Form by November 7^th in order to continue with the application process.
Once the intent form is received, potential applicants will be matched with an Intent Partner who is a current or Alumni PTF. The Intent Partner can answer questions about the program, review applications before submission, and generally support the potential applicant in their decision to apply for the PTF program.
By mid-November applicants will receive the PTF Application (and evaluation rubric), which they should complete by December 6^th in order to be considered. This application includes a portion for the Intent Partner to complete, which should take place before the December 6^th deadline.
The Application Committee will evaluate applications in December, and will meet in January to review the applications and make final selection decisions. Applicants will be notified of their selection or rejection in late January or early February.
The 2023 Cohort will be inducted into the PTF Program at the annual PTF Showcase, which takes place this year on April 7^th.
