*	Butler Young Scholar Award (BYU Faculty Only) in Western Studies,
sponsored by the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies, has been created

upon a faculty member's record of research, teaching and citizenship. The
Butler Award is funded from the John Topham and Susan Redd Butler Research
Endowment which was established in 1986 through the instrumentality of Karl
Butler. The award carries a $3,000 annual salary stipend and a $5,000 annual
research support award, subject to all university financial policies, and
with any capital equipment purchased from these funds becoming the property
the university. Any unused funding may carry over for the duration of the
award. Appointments are for three consecutive years and may not be renewed.
Any accumulated funding not expended within three (3) years after the
expiration of a Young Scholar Award will revert to the Charles Redd Center
for reallocation. A faculty member should have been in a faculty position
for at least three years, but not more than ten years since completing the
terminal degree, and in a rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The
faculty member should be engaged in significant scholarship in Western
American studies and is nominated by his/her department chair. If you are
interested in being considered for this award, please contact your
department chair and make arrangements for a complete nomination packet.
