Scholarship for Teachers of Spanish

Summer Immersion Course in Spain

The Embassy of Spain is again offering an all-expense-paid scholarship at one of 15 Spanish universities for a three-week summer course in July for CCFLT members.  The scholarship includes tuition, fees, room, board, and excursions; the recipient pays for his or her airline tickets and travel to the university city.  For more information on the courses and sites, see the Embassy of Spain website.

Please note that these courses are reserved for those who already speak Spanish well; the Embassy cautions that "candidates who do not have a sufficiently advanced level of Spanish will in no case be able to enroll in courses designed for Spanish teachers."
