Georgia TESOL Grants

All grants are exclusively available to current Georgia TESOL members, including those who serve on the Board and committees. Each complete grant application is reviewed by a committee of the GATESOL Executive Board through a blind review process.  Applicants will be notified of the committee's decision within 6 weeks of the grant's deadline.

Incomplete grant applications, including those submitted past the deadline or without required letters of recommendations, will not be reviewed.  An application must receive an overall score of 70% or higher to be eligible for funding.
 

Amount:  $2000

Deadline: December 30th

This grant is intended to provide assistance for an immersion experience abroad for an educator who wishes to serve his or her students better by learning more about their culture and language through experiencing the culture firsthand. It is named in honor of our late colleague and Georgia TESOL member John Stowe, who was constantly learning languages, traveling, and spending time with students in order to better understand their culture. John also firmly believed that a strong sense of place is a vital part of being truly immersed and connected to a community.
