New grant guidelines for the BellSouth Foundation will be issued for 2001-2005. This is accomplished through the distribution of scholarships and grants, and the sponsorship of workshops. Scholarships are offered to college juniors and seniors who are pursuing a career of teaching social studies in middle or secondary grades. Specific criteria are listed and the application can either be printed from the screen or downloaded in an IBM compatible format. Workshops teach the Cultural Approach teaching methods developed by the founder and are available to teachers in Alabama and West Georgia.
Teachers attending the week-long summer workshops receive a stipend.
The grants are also offered to teachers in Alabama and West Georgia, for curriculum planning and development, in-service training, the development of instructional materials for use in elementary and secondary schools, and other projects that focus on the Cultural Approach method of teaching. The grant program awards matching money for initiatives that address issues dealing with Education and Community Involvement. Eligible programs include those designed to enhance the quality of life in communities, protect the environment or encourage students to stay in school. The Foundation provides assistance to educational, cultural, religious, and charitable institutions. The primary focus of The Goizueta Foundation is to respond to the needs of families by assisting institutions that serve children, support families at risk, and create educational opportunities.
