The Foundation's primary purpose is to award fellowships to present and prospective teachers, with an emphasis on present teachers at the college or university level, to enable them to study abroad or at some location(s) other than that with which they are most closely associated. The aim is to stimulate and broaden the minds of teachers so as to improve and enhance the quality of their instruction. Grants are primarily for travel and related expenses and not as salary substitutes, scholarships, or grants in aid. Previous grant recipients are welcome to re-apply.
The Foundation does not maintain a website, but application guidelines can be found at the link above. Applicants should submit all required materials along with the candidate information form to the foundation via email. Additional information can be found in the foundation's FAQs.
This sponsor does not allow indirect costs. This falls short of the 15% overhead required by FAS policy. Please discuss this with your grants administrator before preparing an application.
