Endowments for Professorships and for Chairs and Deans

US$ 10 million

The Northern Caribbean University is intentional in investing in faculty distinction through the endowment of chairs, deans and professorships. An endowment towards chairs, deans and professorships constitute a most effective means of attracting and nurturing outstanding scholars—and retaining top faculty, who are often pursued by other universities. This investment will ensure that our students are provided with high-quality education and, at the same time, encourage cutting-edge research.
