John Breuker Jr. Award for Exceptional Promise in Latin Teaching

The John Breuker Jr. Award for Exceptional Promise in Latin Teaching is granted to secondary-school educators of demonstrated excellence to support their attendance at a group-study tour of their choice, as well as encouraging their ongoing engagement in the professional societies where the collegial networks launched on that tour can enhance their opportunities for further professional growth. This annual grant of $5,000 is intended to cover expenses (including travel) associated with a foreign group-study program, with a preference for Latin studies and Italian experiences.
