College grants for teacher

Teacher Enrichment Grant applications and guidelines for 2005 are now available. Teacher Enrichment Grants may be used for private study, college-level course work or special projects in performance, pedagogy, music theory and composition. The grant is not intended to be used to pursue course work toward a degree, for travel funds or for ongoing projects. However, a grant may be approved for one additional year at the discretion of the Teacher Enrichment Grant Evaluation Committee. The number of grants awarded in any year is determined by the number of qualified applicants and available funds. All Teacher Enrichment Grants are provided by the MTNA FOUNDATION FUND general endowment and named endowment funds.

Applications are due in the MTNA national headquarters office postmarked no later than January 10, 2005, and grant recipients will be announced at the 2005 MTNA National Conference in Seattle, Washington, in April. Funds will be distributed no later than May 1.
