New Tutors/Lecturers are not required to submit a supporting document.
Academic Support Staff

Prizes
A teaching enhancement grant of €8,000 shall be awarded in the Academic Staff category with an additional €2,500 award for First Time Lecturers/Tutors. The Academic Support Staff prize is for €2,500. Winners may use this money to further enhance their teaching practice/student learning (for example to facilitate conference participation or to purchase materials or equipment relating to teaching development). Winners will also receive a commemorative piece of Tipperary Crystal and all nominees will receive a commemorative piece of Newbridge Silverware.
