Awards for teachers

Teachers of Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian ancestry, or those who work exclusively with students of Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian ancestry, are invited to apply for a scholarship to attend the Space Foundation's annual Summer Institute in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The Lucy Enos Memorial Scholarship provides a travel allowance, meal and lodging expenses, and full tuition and fees for any one of the five weeklong Summer Institute courses. Courses cover topics from rocketry and robotics to astronomy and working in space.

Funding for the scholarship is provided by Elliot Pulham, president and chief executive officer of the Space Foundation, and his wife, Cynthia. It honors the memory of Elliot Pulham's grandmother, Lucy Enos, who was born in Pahala in 1898 and died in 1976.

Applicants must be credentialed teachers working with students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

To apply, write a letter of two pages or less stating qualifications and motivation for applying, experience or interest in space themes in the classroom, what you hope to gain from the experience, choice of Summer Institute course, and how knowledge gained would be applied in the classroom.

A supervisor should endorse the application. Write Dr. Patricia Arnold, Vice President, Education & Workforce Development, The Space Foundation, 310 S. 14th St., Colorado Springs, CO 80904.

Deadline for applications is April 15.
