Trinity College London Teacher Trainer Scholarship

Another new scholarship funded by Trinity College London, for a trainer working in the field of teacher qualifying courses.

The aim of this new scholarship, funded by Trinity College London, is to enable a trainer working in the field of teacher qualifying courses with assessed assignments and/or teaching practice to present his/her work to a wider audience by giving a paper or leading a workshop at the IATEFL annual conference.

You do not need to be a member of IATEFL to apply for this scholarship but a successful non-member will have the annual membership fess deducted from the award as all presenters must be members of IATEFL. Nor do you need to be working with Trinity College London to apply, however, previous winners of other scholarships may not apply.

One award of £500 will be made in 2010 to cover the conference registration fee, membership fee if applicable and a contribution towards expenses.
