Manson A. Stewart Awards
for Primary-, Middle-, and Secondary-school Teachers

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. Recent Winners are: Teacher Training Award, 2003-04: Brandy Henricks, University of Kentucky; Travel Award, 2003-04: Larry Martin, Van Alstyne High School (Sherman, TX); and Sarah H. Wright, NW Guilford High School (Greensboro, NC).

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 $800.  Deadline: postmarked by February 15, 2005.

Travel Awards: Designed specifically to assist teachers of Latin with a cash award to offset the costs of attending the annual CAMWS meeting, or the Southern Section meeting.  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 $500; for travel to the Southern Section, somewhat less.  Deadline: postmarked February 15, 2005 for the regular CAMWS meeting March 31-April 2, 2005 in Madison, WI; and for the Southern Section meeting (November 4-6, 2004 in Winston-Salem, NC) the postmarked deadline is: October 1, 2004. 

The application forms for both awards are available online.
