OTHER REQUIREMENTS
Each applicant is invited to attach a personal "submission" piece
a described below. Also, all scholarship recipients will be required to present
a report, either written or oral, about the programs they attend. These reports
must be given at a Daltaí na Gaeilge Immersion Program no later than May of 2008.
STUDENT APPLICATIONS
In addition to seeking to encourage study of the Irish Language, student scholarships
are also intended as a way of developing future teachers and assisting our current
teachers. Each student applicant is invited to include a "submission" on a topic
that would advance teaching the Language. For instance, a new handout, chart or teaching
aid that covers a particular aspect of the Language [grammar, vocabulary, verbs,
prepositional pronouns, etc.] would be appropriate.
Likewise, a student might outline a particular problem in learning the Language from
a student's point of view or a specific class topic which would be especially helpful
or interesting. In other words, the "submission" should assist teachers either by
outlining a teaching method or by clearly identifying a study problem experienced by
students. Submissions should be as specific as possible, but no particular format
need be followed.
TEACHER APPLICATIONS
- The Firefighter John P. Tierney Scholarship -
In addition to seeking to reward those who have given service as teachers, teacher
scholarships are also intended to encourage the writing of new materials in the Irish
Language. Each teacher applicant is invited to include an original "submission"
written in the Irish Language. The "submission" may consist of an article, short story,
poem or other appropriate piece. No particular format is required. In the alternative,
a teacher's "submission" may consist of a teaching aid or analysis of a teaching
problem or method as outlined above.
DALTAÍ NA GAEILGE will be entitled to keep all "submissions" and use them as it deems
appropriate. In particular, it is intended that certain of the "submissions" will
be posted on the Daltaí na Gaeilge web page.
DEADLINE
All applications for 2007 must be received or postmarked no later than
May 1, 2007. Applications should be sent to Ethel Brogan, 56 Derick Drive, Fishkill,
New York 12524-1002. The scholarship reciepients will be announced no later than
the last day of May, 2007.
