Professional Development Grant

About the Grant

The CAV will award up to $600 each year to help defray the costs of professional development. Up to $100 per person will be provided for attendance at a local conference, such as FLAVA or Randolph-Macon’s Saturday Seminar for Latin Teachers. Up to $300 per person will be provided for a larger event, such as completing coursework or attending the ACL Institute, CAMWS, ACTFL, SCS/AIA, SALVI, any other approved program, or even study abroad. If application requests surpass the $600 limit, a committee will be formed to decide on adjustments to these allocations. Recipients will be announced at the spring CAV meeting or early May, if the meeting is prior to April 30. Applicants may be asked to briefly report back on their experience or present at a CAV meeting.

The CAV Professional Development Grant is funded primarily through the proceeds gathered from a silent auction of books, teaching materials, and other classical items at the spring meeting of CAV each year. We owe a big thanks to Amy Petersen for organizing this important fundraiser every year!

How to Apply

Members of the Classical Association of Virginia who are an active teacher of Latin or Greek on any level are eligible to apply for this grant. All professional development activities must relate to the teaching of Latin, Greek, or the classics.

All applications are due by April 30.
