The Council on Standards for International Educational Travel is proud to present the 4th Annual Global Classroom Awards. The purpose of these awards is to recognize schools that actively support international youth exchange by promoting school-wide feelings of inclusiveness and global curiosity while hosting international exchange students or encouraging their students to travel and study abroad. These schools help make exchange a truly thrilling one for international students, the student body, and the community at large.
Please nominate a school that creates a unique climate of support for exchange students by making global issues a focus of the entire school. Nominations must include a one-page typed essay of why the nominated school should be selected, including specific examples of the schools commitment to multiculturalism and international exchange. For examples of past winners, visit here.
The winning schools will each receive a $500 scholarship for one of its students to study abroad or to be put towards increasing school-wide international awareness. Also, one representative from each of the winning schools will be invited to the 2011 National School Conference and receive complementary registration, one night accommodation, and airfare.
The deadline for applications is Friday, February 4, 2011. |
