EIS PAGE SCHOLARSHIP 2010
Application forms are now available for the 2010 Page Scholarship to America being offered by the EIS in association with the English-Speaking Union.
Walter Hines Page (US Ambassador in London during the First World War) gave great encouragement to the founding of the English-Speaking Union in 1918.
The Scholarship is awarded annually to a teacher/lecturer in a Scottish school/college and is intended to promote the exchange of educational ideas between Britain and America. The successful Scholar travels to the USA to study a specific aspect of American education which interests her/him and which is relevant to her/his own professional responsibilities.
The value of the EIS Page Scholarship is £2,000 which gives the Scholar the opportunity to travel widely in the USA. Throughout the tour, the Scholar is the guest of the American Branches of the English-Speaking Union.
Besides being EIS members, applicants must also have taught for at least 5years.
Requests for details and application forms should be addressed to the EIS Education Department at 46 Moray Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6BH (e-mail: EDavidson@eis.org.uk).
The closing date for submission of applications to the Education Department is Monday, 26 April 2010.
