Barlow Alumni Travel Grant 2021<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Barlow Alumni Educators Travel Grant awards up to $3,500 each year to support Bates alumni in pursuing an international experience to enhance their educational and professional goals. Applications are welcome from Bates alumni who have been working in K-12 school settings or within the nonprofit sector on education-related advocacy or service for at least five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, in addition to travel proposals, we also invite alumni educators to seek support for local initiatives engaging members of immigrant communities in the US that have been disproportionately impacted by Covid-19. Applications are due by May 2, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
