Recognizing Outstanding Faculty

The Office of the Provost prides itself on the outstanding faculty employed by the University of South Carolina. Our faculty are recognized each spring with university-wide awards for teaching, research, service and advising. Nomination guidelines and the online nomination form are available on each award page below. Each award page includes specific information about award eligibility and who can submit nominations. Separate nomination forms must be submitted to nominate one faculty member for multiple awards.

Award Deadlines

Please note that each award is a one-time career award and former winners are not eligible for re-nomination. This does not preclude past winner nominations for different faculty awards. For complete submission information, please see each award.
