One of Kaur Foundation's core principles is prioritizing teacher education and providing teachers with the knowledge, skills, and resources to promote cultural and religious literacy in their classrooms. In support of this principle, we are pleased to be able to provide scholarships for four teachers who might not otherwise be able to attend the NCSS Annual Conference in Philadelphia (Dec. 2-4 2022) because of lack of financial support.

Details:

The sponsorship covers the registration fee for the 2022 Annual Conference. It does not cover hotel or travel expenses.

Application Deadline: Sept. 25

Eligibility:

• First-time attendee at the NCSS Annual Conference
• Full-time preK-12 social studies teacher

We will prioritize applicants who:

• are in their first 5 years of teaching;
• teaching in a high-needs or high-poverty school;
• teach courses that include Sikhism or teach World Religions courses.

We are asking those who are selected to write or record a short testimonial about their experiences at the meeting and how they will apply what they learned in their classrooms. These testimonials will be shared in our newsletter and on our social media accounts.
