Professional Development Funding

The Staff Senate will begin accepting applications for

Fall 2013 Professional Development funding through May 15. 2013.

This funding is for Professional Development Opportunities

taking place Fall 2013 (July-December).

The Staff Senate Professional Development fund was established by the Staff Senate of the University of Central Arkansas to assist a staff employee in pursuing opportunities for professional development. Specifically, these funds can be used by a staff member seeking support for a book scholarship-if taking classes outside of UCA, or travel funds for conference attendance. The senate seeks to advance opportunities of continuing education, advanced or higher education, certification programs, or conference participation.  All full-time classified or non-classified staff are eligible to apply.  The value of the funding depends on the available funds and the number of applicants.  We have a total of $2,500 to award per semester.

Staff who receive funding are asked to work as a volunteer for one home football game and two home basketball games as ticket taker/usher during the year they are awarded the funds.
