1995 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 l995. 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. All NEH seminar participants who teach in New Jersey are
subsequently awarded an additional travel stipend by the Geraldine R. Dodge
Foundation of Morristown, New Jersey. Stipend amounts range from $250 to
$1,000, depending on the location of the seminar. The Dodge Foundation
typically invites the NEH/Dodge fellows to come together in the Fall for a
day to report on their experiences and to advance scholarship among these
educators.

ELIGIBILITY

Although seminars are designed primarily for full-time or regular part-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, 1995.

Participants in Summer Seminars for School Teachers in l993 and l994 are
not eligible to apply to the l995 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, 1995.
