The SEC Academic Leadership Development Program (SEC ALDP) Alumni Fellowship is designed for SEC ALDP alumni who are in senior leadership positions at SEC universities (i.e., home institution). The aim of the fellowship is to provide opportunities at other SEC universities to strengthen experience and knowledge in a specific area of interest to the fellow or the fellow’s home institution.
Applications should be submitted to the Faculty Advancement Application Portal by May 30, 2025.
Eligibility Requirements:
(Application period: March 15 to May 30)
To be eligible, alumni must have completed the SEC ALDP and be currently employed at an SEC university. Nominees are submitted by the SEC ALDP liaisons, and up to two alumni may be awarded the fellowship each year.
The Southeastern Conference will provide an award bursary of $2500 to each fellowship recipient’s home institution (no more than two per year) to be used for travel, living, or other expenses. Any additional costs will be borne by the fellow or the fellow’s home institution. All fellowship recipients will remain on salary at their home institutions.
Fellowship recipients have one full academic year to complete their fellowship, beginning on July 1 and concluding no later than June 30 of the following year.
The final report topic is to be agreed upon by the fellowship recipients and their Provosts and described in the application. The report is due no later than the first day of classes (after the fellowship concludes) at the home institution, as listed in the university academic calendar. The fellowship recipients should submit their reports to their home institutions’ SEC ALDP liaison, who will ensure it is delivered to the SEC, the host university, and the Provost of the home institution.
