Description
The CCCC Assistance Fund for Contingent Faculty supports contingent faculty at two-year and four-year colleges and universities by providing financial assistance for travel to the CCCC Annual Convention. If the convention is held online, recipients receive complimentary registration instead of travel funds. The program aims to ensure that contingent faculty have access to professional development and networking opportunities offered by the convention. Award recipients are selected at random, with priority given to previous applicants who were not selected, using a weighted entry system.
