The Ann B. Faulkner Professional Development Award
The Texas Chapter of the College Reading and Learning Association established the Ann B. Faulkner Professional Developmental Award in 1994. TxCRLA members may apply for up to $500, which is available annually, to further professional development and research activities related to learning assistance and/or developmental education. One or more awards may be made depending upon the amounts requested by the winning applications.
Appropriate uses of the award include graduate study, attendance at professional meetings, and research. By taking a broad view of professional development, the committee wishes to encourage members’ creativity in submitting proposals. The committee may make specific suggestions to the winners regarding the ways to maximize their professional growth or to disseminate their research findings.

To apply, applicants should provide the following information: name, address, phone number(s), academic affiliation (institution & position), and length of TxCRLA membership. In addition, applicants should include a proposal for professional development or research, the need for financial support, and a budget or projection of expenses. The specific amount requested and other anticipated sources of funding should be indicated.
