What is the Spanish Teachers Bridge the Gap Fund?
The mission of Spanish Teachers Bridge the Gap Fund is to provide scholarships to Tennessee Spanish teachers who have already secured partial funding for professional development from other sources.
Spanish teachers apply for grants and scholarships in order to keep their language skills current and to be active as professionals. Many times these awards do not cover all of their expenses, putting the professional development opportunities just out of reach of the average teacher.
Beginning with existing start-up money saved from various Spanish teacher-led activities over the years and continuing through donations and other funding sources in the future, this organization provides scholarships to “bridge” these “gap” expenses so Spanish teachers working in Tennessee can take advantage of the partial grants or scholarships that they have already secured.
Recipients are already active in their professional organizations and are expected to provide information from their experience which will be available to other teachers.
We are teachers helping teachers!
