The nomination process for the 2025 award is closed. 

The 3M National Teaching Fellowship is Canada’s most prestigious recognition of excellence in educational leadership and teaching at the post-secondary level.

In 1986, the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) and 3M Canada partnered to recognize exceptional contributions to teaching and learning in Canadian post-secondary education. The 3M National Teaching Fellows community embodies the highest ideals of teaching excellence and scholarship and is committed to encouraging and supporting the educational experience of every learner.

Up to 10 Fellows are selected annually.

Canada now has over 360 3M National Teaching Fellows, representing various academic disciplines from over 80 small and large Canadian post-secondary institutions. After joining the Fellowship, Fellows continue to elevate teaching and learning at their institutions and through larger, collaborative initiatives supported by 3M Canada, STLHE, and the Council of Fellows, a constituent group within STLHE.

Eligibility

The Fellowship is open to any individual currently teaching at a Canadian university or college, regardless of discipline, program, level, or term of appointment. All post-secondary institutions in Canada (universities, colleges, cégeps, polytechnics, and other provincially and/or federally recognized institutes of higher education) are included.

Nominees need not be members of STLHE.
General Information

The Call for Nominations is distributed by email to the offices of the Provosts and Vice-Presidents (Academic) at Canadian post-secondary institutions, to Educational Development Centres, and to members of STLHE.
