Endowed Professorships

Eminent Scholars program is designed to enhance the recruitment and retention of distinguished university faculty at institutions throughout Louisiana. It is a highly competitive program that pairs a 80% private sector match with a 20% Board of Regents award to endow a chair to be filled by a scholar of high renown and great ability.

Professorship holders are held to standards of performance, which require that they maintain a continuing record of scholarly and creative endeavors, leadership activities, exceptional teaching, attraction of high-quality students and enhancement of the State’s economy.
