ANNOUNCING: Summer 2005 National Endowment for the Humanities (U.S.A.)

Seminars and Institutes for School Teachers

Application Deadline: March 1, 2005
* * *

Each summer the National Endowment for the Humanities supports a variety
of study opportunities in the humanities for school teachers.  Seminars
and institutes are national (open to those who teach American K-12
students), residential, and rigorous.  Designed to strengthen the
quality of humanities instruction available to American students, they
are led by some of the nation's outstanding scholars and take place at
major colleges and universities and archival facilities across the
country and abroad.

Topics considered among the 28 seminars and institutes for school
teachers offered in the summer of 2005 include the legacy of George
Washington, the origins of the U.S. Civil War, Native American history,
African American history, historical cartography, the Holocaust, the
Arabic novel, China and the Islamic world, literary studies of Dante,
Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Zola, musical studies of Bach, Mozart, and
American jazz, and programs in the original languages on French history
and Latin literature. For a complete list of both seminars and
institutes, go to the NEH Website, or phone (202/606-8463), or e-mail
(sem-inst@neh.gov).

The listings contain seminar and institute titles and the means to
contact each director.  Prospective applicants can request information
from as many seminar and institute directors as they wish but may apply
to only one NEH summer offering.  In response to a request for
information, seminar and institute directors will send a letter
describing the content, logistics, expectations, and conditions of that
project.  Each letter will be accompanied by application instructions as
well as information about the program's costs.

Participants receive a stipend from the National Endowment for the
Humanities to help cover travel costs and living expenses, as well as
books and miscellaneous expenses.  Seminars and institutes run from two
to six weeks, and stipends range from $1,800 to $4,200, depending on the
length of the program.

Requests for information and completed applications should NOT be
directed to the National Endowment for the Humanities; they should be
addressed to the individual projects as found in the listings.  The
application postmark deadline is March 1.
