NCAA Division III is pleased to offer the FAR Fellows Institute. This Institute was launched in 2010 and aims to increase the leadership and effectiveness of Division III FARs at the campus, conference and national levels. Funding for the institute is provided by the Division III budget and covers all expenses of attendees. The Institute will take place every third year in October or November (e.g., 2019, 2022, 2025, etc.).

The 2022 event will be held in conjunction with the FARA Annual Meeting, November 3-5 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event schedule will require participants to travel to Indianapolis on November 2.

The components of the program provide a thorough examination of strategic practices and issues surrounding the role and responsibility of the FAR, help FAR Fellows develop the leadership skills necessary to carry out their responsibilities on campus and in their conference and strengthen the network of FARs needed to serve on conference, divisional and Association-wide committees.
