Grants For Teachers Who Use American Music

For the fourth year, the National Music Foundation will award cash grants of up to one thousand dollars to teachers of any subject, in any grade K-12, and in any academic setting, who create lesson plans using American music.

Competition entries are reviewed and evaluated by a panel of judges, who make awards at three levels: Finalist, Semi-finalist and Honorable Mention. Finalist teachers receive grants of $1,000; semi-finalist teachers receive grants of $500.

All award-winning lesson plans are included in a database, www.usamusic.org. Visit the site for applications and guidelines, or call 1-800-USA-MUSIC. Completed applications must be received by September 14, 2001 to be considered.
