1994 NEH SUMMER SEMINARS FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS

The Division of Fellowships and Seminars of the National
Endowment for the Humanities is sponsoring seminars on
a variety of texts in the humanities for four, five, or
six weeks during the summer of l994. Each seminar will
provide fifteen teachers with the opportunity to work
under the direction of a distinguished teacher and
active scholar in the field of the seminar.

Amount of Award
All teachers selected to participate in the program will
be awarded a stipend of $2,450, $2,825, or $3,200,
depending on the length of the seminar. The stipend is
intended to cover travel costs to and from the seminar
location, books and other research expenses, and living
expenses for the tenure of the seminar.

Eligibility
Although seminars are designed primarily for full-time
teachers at public, private, or parochial schools,
grades 7 through l2, other school personnel, K-l2, are
also eligible to apply. Substitute teachers are not
eligible to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens,
native residents of a U.S. jurisdiction, or foreign
nationals who have been residing in the United States
for at least three years immediately preceding the
application deadline, March 1, 1994. Participants in
Summer Seminars for School Teachers in l992 and l993 are
not eligible to apply to the l994 seminars.

How to Apply
Applicants must write to the seminar directors for
application instructions and forms and for detailed
information about the structure, special requirements,
site, and housing of seminars.
Applicants may apply to only one seminar. However,
applicants may write to more than one seminar director
for information. When writing to several directors,
please request the NEH application booklet from only one
director. Applicants who apply to more than one seminar
will not be eligible for a place in any seminar.
The director and a selection committee will decide who
will attend the seminar. Therefore, the complete
application should be mailed directly to the seminar
director and should be postmarked no later than March 1,
1994.
