The Christine Fernald Sleeper Educational Travel Award is designed to support teachers of Latin by encouraging educational travel. The award was developed in honor of Christine Sleeper, one of the "Founding Mothers" of the National Latin Exam and life-long travel enthusiast, in order to offer Latin teachers the opportunity to expand horizons for themselves and their students. This award may be used to enroll in an established program abroad, such as the American Academy in Rome, a trip to a classical site such as those offered by the Vergilian Society, or an educational trip of one's own design. Applicants must be current full-time teachers of Latin with at least three years of experience at the middle school, high school, community college, or college level who offer the NLE to their students. Applicants are eligible for the award only once every ten years. Applicants currently receiving another scholarship from the National Latin Exam are not eligible to apply for this award. Applicants currently serving on one of the NLE Committees are not eligible to apply. Applicants must submit a recommendation form. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
