CULTR-CLTA Conference Grant
2025 CULTR Travel Grant for First-Time Conference Attendees
The CLTA invites applications from eligible members to apply for the CULTR Conference Travel Grant for its 2025 annual conference. This award is generously sponsored by the Center for Urban Language Teaching and Research (CULTR) at Georgia State University. It will provide an annual prize amount of $900 to support three first-time CLTA conference attendees who are in year 1-5 of teaching. This award is open to all K-12 and college-level teachers who are CLTA members.
After the conference, award winners are required to complete a brief survey which includes their name, number of years teaching, school name and location (city & state), teaching environment (rural, urban, suburban), and a description of conference presentation, if applicable (however, presenting at the conference is not required). Winners also need to answer the prompt “How has CULTR’s sponsorship for this conference impacted your professional development as a teacher?” and to upload a one-minute video that will be featured in a post-conference newsletter and/or on CULTR’s website.
The application deadline for funding to attend 2025 CLTA conference is March 31, 2025. Winners will be selected by lottery at the CLTA Conference Awards Ceremony on Saturday, May 10, 2025. Please note that applicants who are not present at the awards ceremony will be considered to have withdrawn from the competition.
