2009 Summer Programs in the Humanities
WASHINGTON, D.C. (December 3, 2008)—American educators across the country are encouraged to apply now for 2009 summer study opportunities in the humanities. Each summer, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports rigorous national, residential seminars, institutes, and workshops located in the United States and abroad. Program participants receive stipends to help defray travel and living expenses.
For 2009, 31 Summer Seminars and Institutes for School Teachers are being offered. Interested school teachers must apply by March 2, 2009. Educators can apply to no more than one program. Seminars and Institutes are 2-6 week programs that take place in the United States and abroad. Summer Seminars and Institutes for School Teachers provide K-12 educators with a means to deepen their understanding of important subjects in the humanities.
For the summer of 2009, 20 Landmarks of American History and Culture workshops are being offered to K-12 educators. Interested school teachers must apply by March 16, 2009. Educators may apply to and participate in no more than two workshops. The Landmarks workshops are 1-week workshops that take place at sites of historical or cultural significance across the nation and provide educators with the opportunity to engage in intensive study and discussion of important topics in American history and culture.
