Description
The Williams College Sabbatical Salary Grant is designed to support tenured faculty members who are taking a paid sabbatical leave. The grant supplements the standard 75% sabbatical salary provided by the college, ensuring that faculty can receive up to 100% of their base institutional salary when external funding is not available. This program encourages professional development and active scholarship during the sabbatical period, whether for a semester-long mini-sabbatical or a full-year sabbatical. Faculty are expected to seek external funding first, but the grant serves as a backstop if such funding is insufficient or unavailable.
