The Helen T. Sharp Memorial Fellowship

The Helen T. Sharp Memorial Fellowship was established by the Mississippi Foreign Language Association in 2001 to help us remember Helen and her exemplary life and to encourage new teachers in their professional development.

The Fellowship will pay membership dues, the annual conference registration fees, and one night's lodging for two first-year teachers and for two graduate students each year.

Selection of the recipients will be based on

1. completion of the application form,

2. a letter of recommendation from a colleague, principal, or department head, and

3. a one-page statement written by the applicant about his/her philosophy of teaching a second language.

Nominations can be made by clicking here.

Deadline: October 1, 2023.
