Anna McCracken Educator Scholarship
To advance our educational mission, the Willa Cather Foundation created the Educator Scholarship in 2015. Through the Ana McCracken Educator Scholarship Fund, this program allows educators to experience the Cather historic sites, the cultural opportunities, the growing body Cather scholarship, and the camaraderie that our Spring Conference offers. It is our sincere hope that these awards will facilitate a dynamic exchange of ideas between Cather researchers and educators, upon whom we rely for our next generation of Cather readers.
We will award three teachers or administrators complimentary registration to the 2022 Willa Cather Spring Conference, which can be experienced as a hybrid online and in-person event. The Willa Cather Foundation will also arrange complementary guided town and prairie tours for recipients. To apply for the Educator Scholarship, please complete the application that follows.
Questions may be directed to education coordinator Rachel Olsen, at (420) 746-2653 or rolsen@willacather.org. The 2022 application deadline is April 30, and recipients will be notified by May 2.
