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.
