The Foreign
Language Association of
North Carolina is pleased to offer a variety of scholarships and awards
annually at the Business Meeting. FLANC recognizes teacher
excellence
with its Teacher of the Year award. Current FLANC members may
nominate an outstanding teacher at any academic level (K-16) for this
award. The Friend of FLANC award
is given to individuals who are not foreign language professionals, but
have made a significant contribution to, or impact on, the study of
second languages. The Honorary Life award is given to a longtime
member who has made significant contributions to FLANC and the teaching
profession. Nominations are accepted from current FLANC
members. Nominations forms are available online and must be
submitted by March.
The Jane Mitchell-Manolita Buck
scholarship is awarded annually to a college student in his/her final
year of undergraduate study, who has expressed a commitment to teach a foreign
language in North Carolina. This scholarship is open to all second
language students in a North Carolina institution of higher learning.
Applications are due in March.
Honorary Life Memberships are awarded to members who have made
significant contributions to FLANC and to the language teaching
profession. Those considered for the award must have been FLANC members
for a minimum of five years. Any FLANC member may make nominations. In
addition to the letter of recommendation, there should be a second
letter of support from a colleague, principal, or administrator
attesting to the nominee's contributions to language teaching and
culture.
Finally, the Initially Licensed Teacher Scholarship
(ILT) allows FLANC to reduce the cost of attending the Annual
Conference to $50 for all Initially Licensed Teachers in their first
year of teaching a world language in North Carolina! In addtion, 10
ILTs will be chosen to attend the annual FLANC conference at no charge,
including the opportunity to attend pre-conference workshops.
Applications are due in September.
