Stipend, Tenure, and Conditions
of Award
Teachers selected to participate in six-week
long projects will receive a stipend of $4,400; those in
five-week projects will receive $3,800; those in four-week
projects will receive $3,200; those in three-week projects
will receive $2,600; and those in two-week projects will
receive $2,000. Stipends are intended to help cover travel
expenses to and from the project location, books and other
research expenses, and living expenses for the duration
of the period spent in residence. Stipends are taxable.
Applicants to all projects, especially those held
abroad, should note that supplements will not be given in
cases where the stipend is insufficient to cover all expenses.
Seminar and institute participants are required
to attend all meetings and to engage fully in the work of
the project. During the project's tenure, they may not undertake
teaching assignments or any other professional activities
unrelated to their participation in the project. Participants
who, for any reason, do not complete the full tenure of
the project must refund a pro-rata portion of the stipend.
At the end of the project's residential period,
participants will be asked to submit online evaluations
in which they review their work during the summer and assess
its value to their personal and professional development.
These evaluations will become part of the project's grant
file and may become part of an application to repeat the
seminar or institute.
