WR Lee Scholarship

Conference scholarship for teachers from Central and Eastern Europe

The WR Lee Scholarship Fund was set up in memory of our late Founder Chair with the purpose of helping IATEFL members in the countries concerned (see below) to attend the IATEFL Annual Conference and give a presentation. Initially, donations came from the many generous people who knew our founder. These days many IATEFL members and delegates make regular donations to the fund because they support its aims. One scholarship is usually awarded each year.

To qualify applicants must:

• be natives of the following countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland or Hungary.
• be a fully paid up individual member of IATEFL

Each scholarship is worth £1000 towards accommodation and travel costs plus a free registration for the conference.

To be considered applicants are asked to apply online including:

•  a brief curriculum vitae (2 sides A4 maximum)
• a passport size photograph to be included in the conference programme if you win
• a statement of 400-500 words of how attending the IATEFL conference would benefit you, with specific reference to relevant work, study or research carried out and/or planned
• submit a speaker proposal (please submit online).  Please note that your proposal must be submitted by the scholarship application deadline of 22nd August 2011.

The submission date is 22nd August 2011.  You will be informed about the award around the end of September.
