The Provost’s Award for Enduring Scholarly Contribution acknowledges the body of a lifetime of scholarly work, with all forms of scholarship and creative work considered.
Eligibility
Any full-time or reduced-load member of the teaching faculty may be nominated for this award. Post-tenure, late career faculty will receive primary consideration.

Award recipients will be selected based the following criteria:
- Sustained production of scholarship over the duration of a career
- Scholarship that is beneficial to the Church, the guild, culture, society, or creation
- Scholarship recognized by global experts as exemplary and for its enduring impact and significance
Selection Process
The provost will solicit nominations from faculty and department chairs. The academic deans and the dean for research and scholarship will also review faculty activities reports and state of the department reports and, based on their review, may make their own nominations. The dean for research and scholarship will take the lead in considering the nominations and, in consultation with the provost, will decide on up to three nominees to present to the Professional Status Committee. There is no restriction regarding how many nominees may come from a single department or division. The Professional Status Committee will select the award recipient.
