It's never too early to think about summer! Check out these great NEH Summer Programs in the Humanities for School and College Educators, tuition-free opportunities for educators to study a variety of humanities topics. Stipends of $1200-$3,300 help cover expenses for these one- to four-week programs. And, I'll let you in on a secret--programs directors are generally looking for "geographic diversity" when they award spots, so your application from Montana will be very competitive. (Never done this before? You get points for being a "first-timer," too.)
Looking for relevance? Try one of these relating to American Indian history.
