Robert Ludwig, former ACTFL President in 1989, left a bequest to ACTFL to create the Robert J. Ludwig Scholarship Program, which annually awards three foreign language teachers with a $250 scholarship that is to provide assistance with the expenses associated with attending the convention. Scholarship applicants must be ACTFL members, first-time attendees of the ACTFL Annual Convention & World Languages Expo, and within the first three years of their teaching career.

All Applicants Must:

1) Be a member of ACTFL valid through November 30, 2013 at the time your application is submitted.
2) Be registered for the 2013 ACTFL Annual Convention at the time your application is submitted.
3) Never have attended an ACTFL Annual Convention previously.
4) Submit proof with your application that you are within the first three years of your teaching career.

Applicants will be notified of the decision in September 2013. Applicants must have met all of the above requirements before applying. Late applications will not be considered. Scholarship checks must be picked up at the convention by the individuals awarded the scholarships. The number of scholarships awarded will be based on the funds available that year. Interested individuals must submit an application to ACTFL by Wednesday, July 10, 2013.
