Central States Offers Scholarship and Grant Opportunities
by Barbara S. Andrews with thanks to Carrol Lund

WANTED: Professional foreign language teachers to apply for scholarships and grants available through the regional Central States Conference professional organization.

Does a two to four-week teacher-immersion experience for summer, 2009, appeal to you? For Spanish teachers two scholarships are available in Mexico and one in Spain. For German teachers the Goethe Institut offers immersion. Scholarship recipients are financially responsible only for their flight to Mexico, Spain, or Germany. For all language teachers, the Concordia Language Village Teacher Seminar offers a $600 scholarship.

For all five CSC scholarships, the candidate agrees to present a CSC session in 2010, and the candidate needs to teach at least a 50% foreign language assignment in the Central States region. Finally the scholarship applicant needs to have attended a CSC Conference within the past five years. You qualify if you attended Dearborn in 2008, Kansas City in 2007, Chicago in 2006, Columbus in 2005, Dearborn in 2004, or Minneapolis in 2003.

Scholarship applications are due December 15, 2008. Check all information and download the scholarship application form at http://www.csctfl.org .

Do you have an innovative classroom project idea? Grants are available through the regional CSC professional organization. Preference is always given to quality proposals that prove an expandable impact. To qualify, one must be a member of CSC Advisory Council. The price for yearly membership is the same as the price for conference registration. Grant applications are due January 15, 2009. Again check the CSC web site for information and grant application form: http://www.csctfl.org .

Also, don't forget to mark your calendars and request funding for the CSC Conference in Chicago, March 19 ~ 21, 2009.

Andrews, B. Scholarships and Grants offered by Central States. Ohio Foreign Language Association listserv (OFLA@LISTSERV.KENT.EDU, 7 Sept 2008).
