With appropriate encouragement and support from one's institutional colleagues, a letter of interest and intent to participate should be sent to the President of the home college or university describing how this program will be of professional benefit to both the individual and to the home institution. If the President supports the applicant's request, a letter of nomination, the applicant's letter of intent, a current curriculum vitae and a one to two page philosophy of teaching statement should be mailed to the GTF Coordinators. Since no more than two participants from one institution can be accepted at one time, it is requested that no more than three nominations from a single college or university be submitted per program.
