Equipping Alabama’s teachers
The Alabama Humanities Foundation is pleased to announce the seventh annual Jenice Riley Memorial Scholarship, benefiting kindergarten through sixth-grade Social Studies teachers. This is a professional development opportunity for teachers to receive a $1,000 scholarship to enhance their teaching abilities. It is named for the late daughter of Bob and Patsy Riley as a means of honoring the memory of Miss Riley and her dedication to the teaching and nurturing of Alabama’s most important citizens: our young children.
The purpose of the Jenice Riley Memorial Scholarship is to provide a learning opportunity for Alabama teachers each year. Twenty-nine teachers have benefited from this program from all over the state. Recipients should embrace a commitment to encouraging students’ pride in Alabama and America through an understanding of history and public service. The finalists will be recognized by a representative of the Riley family at the AHF Awards Luncheon on Monday, September 14, 2009.
Recipients should embrace a commitment to encouraging students’ pride in Alabama and America through an understanding of history and public service.
