Provost's Author Support Fund: Guidelines for Awards
The primary purpose of the Provost's Author Support Fund is to facilitate and further the
publication of outstanding scholarly book-length manuscripts or other creative work by helping
the author to defray the cost of items such as subvention required by the publisher, or special
production charges associated with permissions, figures and photographs, indexing, etc. Such
manuscripts or works may be on specialized topics of interest to a limited audience as well as
on subjects intended for a broader audience.

the following characteristics.
