Historical Society of New Mexico Announces 2010 Teachers' Scholarship Program

The Historical Society of New Mexico is pleased to announce free registration for New Mexico K-12 teachers attending the 2010 New Mexico History Conference to be held April 29-May 1 in Hobbs at the Lea County Event Center and the Western Heritage Center.  The program and other information on the conference can be found soon on the Society's website at www.hsnm.org.  A printed program, including a registration form, can be obtained through a request link on the website.  Teachers are asked to preregister for the conference but at no cost to them. 

The Society also requests applications for its annual Teachers' Scholarships for the Conference.  Each scholarship will provide $300 for selected New Mexico K-12 teachers attending the 2010 New Mexico History Conference in Hobbs.  The scholarships are intended to defray travel and accommodation expenses, but the award may also be used for classroom materials or other education-related expenses.  Registration, Saturday (May 1) lunch and Saturday evening banquet fees will be waived for scholarship awardees, compliments of the Society.  Scholarship awardees are expected to attend the Saturday evening banquet to receive their award. 

The number of Teachers' Scholarships is limited.  Factors to be considered in selecting awardees include background in New Mexico history, teaching experience, and school type, size and location.  The group selected will include a diversity of experience and backgrounds.  Those applying for the scholarships should use the application form below and submit their application by the due date of February 15, 2010.  Awardees will be notified by March 8.  Applications may be sent to:
