Lindy Lopez-Butner Memorial
Grant -- Due Date: TBA
Whereas Lindy Lopez-Butner exemplified the high ideals
of an unusually competent, sensitive, caring ESOL teacher who
sacrificed her own time and comfort for the well-being of her
students, especially the neediest ones, Georgia TESOL has set
up a memorial grant in her honor.
The purpose of the Lindy Lopez Butner grant is to promote the professional
development of a promising ESOL teacher who is a current member in good
standing of Georgia TESOL and has a worthy plan or goal that will directly
benefit ESOL students, but lacks the resources or materials to achieve his or
her goal or project. The grant is offered on a yearly basis. The maximum
amount of the grant is $1,000
