MANSON A. STEWART TEACHER TRAINING AND TRAVEL AWARDS 2007-2008

The Classical Association of the Middle West and South sponsors two Manson A. Stewart Awards for primary-, middle-, and secondary-school teachers.  Recipients must be members of CAMWS.

Teacher Training Awards: Designed to provide some financial assistance to those who wish to obtain certification to teach Latin at the primary through the secondary level, whether the specific courses are needed in Latin or in Education. The award is not intended to cover all costs of the training, and the size of the award varies according to the actual costs (primarily tuition and travel), the size of the committee's budget, and the number of applications. Previous awards have been as high as $1175.

The deadline for the award is February 15, 2008. Click here to download the application form.
 
Travel Awards: Designed specifically to assist teachers of Latin with a cash award to offset the costs of attending CAMWS meetings. The award is not intended to cover all costs of the travel, and the size of the award varies according to the actual costs the travel will entail, the size of the committee's budget, and the number of applications. Awards for travel to annual meetings have ranged from $300 to $600; for travel to the Southern Section meeting, somewhat less.

The deadline for the award is February 15, 2008. Click here to download the application form.

If you have any questions about these awards, please contact Dr. Marianthe Colakis.
