The Christine Fernald Sleeper Educational Travel Award

Eligibility

The Christine Fernald Sleeper Educational Travel Award, with an application deadline in February, offers one award in the amount of $5000.

Description

The Christine Fernald Sleeper Educational Travel Award is designed to support teachers of Latin by encouraging educational travel. This award may be used to enroll in an established program abroad, such as the American Academy in Rome, a trip to a classical site such as those offered by the Vergilian Society, or an educational trip of one's own design, something which Christine herself often advocated. Applicants must be current full-time teachers of Latin with at least three years of experience at the middle school, high school, community college, or college level who offer the NLE to their students. Two references and recommendation letters are required. Applicants are eligible for the award only once every ten years. If you are currently receiving another scholarship from the National Latin Exam, you are not eligible to apply for this award. If you currently serve on one of the NLE Committees, you are not eligible to apply. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the National Latin Exam for more information.
