COS Faculty Awarded for Excellence

Throughout the year, faculty members work incredibly hard to bring quality education to UCF. To reward their hard work, the university offers the incentive award programs. The intent of the award programs is to recognize and promote faculty excellence and productivity that respond to and support the mission of UCF.

The UCF Teaching Incentive Program rewards sustained high levels of teaching effectiveness. The university’s Research Incentive Awards reward outstanding achievements in research, scholarly and creative activities. Finally, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning awards are coordinated by the UCF Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning and reward outstanding achievements in research and other scholarly and creative activities that focus on the effectiveness of teaching methods.
