• APPLICATION
  All Institute and Workshop applicants must submit an essay and a fully-refundable application deposit.
  
  Essay
  Institute and Workshop applications require a one-page, typed (single-spaced) essay explaining how attending this particular program will benefit you as an educator. Be sure to include any specific ideas or plans you may have for incorporating the information obtained into your work as a teacher, school librarian or administrator. If applying to more than one seminar, separate applications, essays, and deposits are required.
  
  Deposit
  All applicants must submit a fully refundable deposit in order to be considered for acceptance. If accepted, this deposit will serve as a registration deposit. If not accepted, this deposit will be refunded along with a letter of decline within six weeks of receipt. Note: an alternate application/registration security may be arranged in light of verifiable financial difficulty by contacting the SUPER Manager, 205-558-3997.

• A $50 deposit is required for each Institute application.
  
• A $20 deposit is required for each Workshop application.
  
  All participants successfully completing an Institute will receive a full deposit refund within two weeks after the conclusion of the program. Registered applicants who withdraw up to two weeks prior to the beginning of the program will receive a full deposit refund within four weeks of receipt of written notification and return of unmarked program resource materials.
  
  Registered applicants who withdraw within two weeks of the beginning of the program will not receive a deposit refund. In order to be eligible to apply to future SUPER programs, all program resource materials must be returned to the AHF immediately upon notification of cancellation. Returned materials must be in appropriate condition for redistribution to another participant, i.e. either unopened or, at least, clean with unmarked pages and tight bindings.
  
  Program participants who do not complete an Institute in its entirety and in accordance with the SUPER Participant Letter of Agreement will forfeit entirely their registration deposit refund and any further benefits associated with the Institute. Eligibility to apply to future SUPER programs will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
