| Title | CLTA Study Abroad Grants |
| Body | Each year CLTA coordinates the awarding of ten grants to study abroad. The grants are sponsored by various foreign agencies. Although some of these grants are not yet confirmed, they include the French Government for study in France (2), the Goethe Institut to study in Germany, the Spanish Embassy to study in Spain, the Quebec Government Office to study in Quebec, the Japan Foundation to study in France, the Spanish Language Institute to study in Cuernavaca, Mexico, the Italian Government Grant to study in Perugia, Italy, and a University of Venice Grant to study in Venice. In addition, CLTA offers a Memorial Scholarship for members to design their own travel abroad for study and/or travel. Most of these grants have only 1 or 2 applicants, and some years there are no qualified applicants for some of the grants. Free summer study abroad and few teachers apply! Why is that? 1) The application deadline comes at a very inconvenient time, right after Christmas vacation (January 22, 2010), 2) The application requires two consecutive years of CLTA membership (2009 and 2010). You can renew your membership in CLTA for 2009 until Dec. 31. You can renew your membership for 2010 at any time. To renew go to http://www.clta.net/membership . Membership renewal forms for both years are available. You can study abroad for free next summer. 1) Plan ahead. 2) Renew your membership in CLTA every year. 3) Information and applications for 2010 grants are available. You can find them at http://www.clta.net/awards . The details of each grant differ from grant to grant. They can include several weeks of study, tuition, room and board, supplies, activities, and tours. The study abroad grants do not include transportation to the study sites. So CLTA offers LangAbroad scholarships to help with the expense of airfare. |
