3M National Teaching Fellowship

To view award criteria, guidelines, and deadlines, please visit the 3M National Teaching Fellowship website. The following award summary is drawn from materials available there.

3M Canada began collaborating with the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) in 1986 with the creation of the 3M National Teaching Fellowships. These awards recognize teaching excellence as well as educational leadership. Up to ten Fellowships are awarded each year. The award includes a citation and an invitation to participate in a four-day retreat at Château Montebello in Quebec. This very popular retreat provides the winners with an opportunity to share past teaching experiences and discuss new ideas.

There are now nearly 300 3M National Teaching Fellows scattered throughout Canada representing a broad range of academic disciplines. They work individually and collaboratively to enhance teaching and learning at their own institutions and through larger collaborative initiatives supported by the Society.

Nominations for the Fellowships are submitted by teachers on their own behalf, or by their colleagues. Candidates need not be members of STLHE.
