Appointment as the Scholl Endowed Chair carries an academic year stipend ranging from $40,000 - $75,000 for each year the incumbent serves as the endowed chair. The length of term is five years, and upon expiration of the first term, a review will follow, where it may be renew for another three years. There is no limit on the total number of renewal periods an incumbent may seek. In addition, the holder of the endowed chair would receive four course releases per year while serving as the endowed chair.

Assistant level hires will not be considered for the endowed chair.
