Whether addressed to a national, regional, or local audience, each of these projects offers school teachers and administrators an opportunity to study substantive texts and topics in the humanities. Projects funded under the Elementary and Secondary Education in the Humanities Program are designed to strengthen instruction at the precollegiate level by deepening educators’ knowledge and understanding of the humanities disciplines. Grant applications to the program may be developed by individual schools, colleges, professional organizations, or groups of institutions that plan to work in collaboration. This poster serves two purposes: 1. To give teachers and administrators an opportunity to identify programs in which they would like to participate. 2. To give prospective grant applicants an overview of the kinds of projects that have been funded in recent grant cycles. Several types of projects are listed here. National and Regional Institutes for Teachers and Administrators usually consist of four weeks of intensive summer study on a college or university campus, with a variety of additional activities during the following academic year to help participants apply the summer’s work in their school settings. Collaborative projects take place at the state or local level, sometimes over a period of several years. They enable colleges and universities, cultural organizations, and schools to work together on efforts to improve humanities education. Masterwork Study Grants enable small groups of teachers and school administrators to study humanities texts and topics with scholars from nearby colleges and universities. Participants meet during the school year to focus on literary or philosophical texts, historical documents, and artistic masterpieces central to the humanities, thereby fostering better interchange between schools and institutions of higher education in a local area. For specific information about application procedures and selection criteria for national and regional institutes, applicants should write or call the project director. Although specific dates are listed for the institutes, these dates are subject to change, and potential applicants should verify them with the project directors.

Pearl NEH/Reader’s Digest Teacher- Scholar Program As part of its effort to improve the content and quality of humanities education in the nation’s schools, the National Endowment for the Humanities instituted the NEH/Reader’s Digest Teacher-Scholar Program for elementary and secondary school teachers. It did so in partnership with a fund established at New York Community Trust by DeWitt Wallace, founder of Reader’s Digest. Elementary and secondary school teachers are invited to submit proposals for an academic year of full-time independent study. The program allows for one award in each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The stipend will replace up to $27,500 of the recipient’s salary. There will also be awards of $500 to purchase books for the teacher’s school library. In addition, a $500 honorarium will be available for a mentor should the recipient elect to work with an expert in the field. For further information, write or call the Division of Education Programs. Independent Study in the Humanities The Endowment has awarded grants to the Council for Basic Education to support a program of summer fellowships for elementary and secondary school teachers. The principal purpose of the program is to encourage serious independent study in the humanities and thereby nourish the intellectual life of the country’s school teachers. Since 1983, the program has awarded over 1,000 fellowships of $3,000 each. To qualify, teachers must have at least five years of experience, and they must offer a plan for six weeks of independent study in a humanities discipline. January 5 is the deadline for the submission of applications for the following summer. For further information about this program, write to Independent Study in the Humanities, Department Bl, P.O. Box 799, Columbia, MD 21045. Endowment programs do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, handicap, or age.
