Program: Teacher Creativity Fellowship 
Subject: Private and public school teachers, Indiana, K-12 Geographic Focus: Indiana
Eligibility: Licensed teachers (including library/media specialists), guidance counselors, principals and assistant principals in Indiana's public, private and parochial schools are eligible to apply for a 2016 Teacher Creativity Fellowship (TCF). Applicants must have held one of these positions since at least Fall 2013, be currently employed full time, and be Indiana-certified in grades K-12.
Maximum Grant Amount: 100 grants of $12,000 each

Description:
The Indianapolis-based Lilly Endowment is inviting applications for an annual program that enables K-12 educators in Indiana to pursue an "imaginative project" that infuses their busy lives with personal renewal and intellectual revitalization. The Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program provides support for K-12 teachers, principals, guidance counselors, and school librarians in Indiana to take time during the summer to pursue a personal interest, explore a subject that interests them, and/or re-energize before returning to the classroom in the fall. Past fellowship recipients have explored national parks, studied Tajik language and culture, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, trained under a master woodworker, and photographed cathedrals in central Europe, among many other activities. Since the program began in 1987, more than twenty-five hundred Indiana educators have received grants for a dizzying array of imaginative adventures.
