Teaching Excellence Awards

The Texas A&M University System's new voluntary, student-selected Teaching Excellence Award Program was created to recognize excellence in classroom teaching. Individuals of all teaching levels will be eligible for awards based on students' responses from the uniform faculty evaluation form in eligible courses. The form consists of a total of sixteen questions with input from the Presidents and Provosts of system institutions, faculty senates of system institutions, the Chancellor's Student Advisory Board, and the Chancellor's office.

Award amounts based on courses will range from $5,000-$10,000 for the top 5% of faculty and $2,500-$5,000 for the next 15% of faculty. The program was piloted at Texas A&M University, Prairie View A&M University and Texas A&M University-Kingsville campuses in Fall 2008. The program has expanded to include all eleven branch campuses of the A&M system.
