Program Overview

Invited Scholar Grants enable scholars whose activities are closely related to the research, scholarship, and/or creative interests of the UNL community to visit campus to give lectures and/or participate as speakers in symposia or colloquia. Each visitor must provide at least one lecture that is open, free-of-charge, and advertised to the entire UNL community. The expected outcome for these visits is to build or strengthen intellectual communities around or advance areas of research, scholarship, and/or creative endeavors relevant to the UNL community.

Preference will be given to lectures and/or symposia/colloquia contributing most directly to UNL research, scholarship, and/or creative endeavors and to those that appeal to and benefit a large segment of the university community. Consideration should be given to having invited scholars visit when a maximum number of people are present on campus.
