John Breuker Jr. Award for Exceptional Promise in Latin Teaching

About this program

The Classical Association of the Middle West and South (CAMWS) awards the John Breuker Jr. Award for Exceptional Promise in Latin Teaching, a $5,000 annual grant to help exemplary secondary-school educators attend a foreign group-study tour—with preference for Latin-focused or Italian experiences—to cover travel and program expenses. Applicants must be CAMWS members for at least three years and have three to five years of demonstrated classroom effectiveness. Required materials include undergraduate/graduate transcripts, a letter of recommendation from a classics professor, two letters from superiors or colleagues, a 500-word self-assessment and a 500-word statement of aspiration, identification of the chosen program with an itemized projected budget, and a commitment to provide follow-up feedback. Applications are submitted via the CAMWS website and the deadline is listed as January 30 (year not specified).
