Teaching UW in Scotland
Each year, pairs of UW faculty from different disciplines, and who have trained in the Abbotsford cohort, develop and teach summer programs in Scotland. Their courses typically have a first footprint at Abbotsford, then move across the country. Courses embrace the varied resources of the region through transdisciplinary teaching. Applications should be from pairs of faculty from different disciplines, with a 3-week course in Scotland for majors across the curriculum. Courses that meet general education and disciplinary requirements are preferred.

Tate and Musser Faculty Scholarships: $500 awards for faculty who are teaching a UW in Scotland course, so that they may extend their stay and pursue their research and scholarly connections in Scotland.
Applications for Fellowships are solicited each fall for the following summer.
