Aldeen Foundation Scholarship

For Arabic language teachers 2008

Aldeen Foundation, a non-profit organization in Pasadena, California,  
is pleased to announce a new scholarship established to assist  
teachers to attend any of the following national conferences: ACTFL,  
ISNA Educators Conference, and NECTFL.  Scholarships for other  
conferences may be considered, based on the relevance of teaching of  
foreign languages.

Three $1,000 scholarships are available to enable teachers to attend  
and improve their competency and skills in language teaching and to  
expand their knowledge of language methodologies and techniques  
through participating in annual conferences.  Each applicant is only  
eligible for one scholarship.

The scholarship provides financial support to offset the travel and  
registration expenses.  The scholarship will be paid as reimbursement  
for expenses.  Each scholarship recipient will make their own travel  
arrangements and registration, then submit receipts to Aldeen for  
reimbursement.  Organization membership fees will not be reimbursed.

Applicants should submit:

1.    A completed Aldeen Foundation Application Form.

2.    A personal statement explaining (one page maximum):

a-     The challenges that you face as a teacher in teaching Arabic  
language in the classroom

b-    How attending the conference will help you meet your challenges  
in teaching Arabic.

3.    A letter from your current school head/principal, stating that  
you are currently employed as an Arabic language teacher.

4.    Applicants for a 2008 scholarship must mail to Aldeen  
Foundation, 651 N. Orange Grove, Suite A, Pasadena, CA 91103 and be  
postmarked no later than March 15th.

5.    Upon return from conference (within 15 days), each participant  
should submit to Aldeen half page summary for any three of the  
sessions attended. This material will be added to Aldeen website under  
the name of the attendee.

6.    The Board of Directors will review all applications and  
decisions regarding granting of scholarship will be based on relevance  
of the conference and strength of personal statement.
