Lilly Endowment Inc., an Indianapolis-based, private philanthropic
foundation, is pleased to announce the expansion of the Teacher Creativity
Fellowship Program for 2003. The Endowment believes that this program of
renewal leads to teachers and educational professionals who become even more
committed to helping Indiana's young people grow and learn with excitement and
enthusiasm. For the first time since the program began in 1987, eligibility to
apply for grants is being extended to include licensed principals and assistant
principals in Indiana's public, private and parochial schools. If you have specific questions about the program or application procedure,
you may contact Lilly Endowment via e-mail: info@teachercreativity.org National Clergy Renewal Program www.clergyrenewal.org Lilly Endowment seeks to strengthen Christian congregations by providing an
opportunity for pastors to step away briefly from the persistent obligations
of daily parish life and to engage in a period of renewal and reflection. Renewal
periods are not vacations, but times for intentional exploration and reflection, for
drinking again from God's life-giving waters, for regaining enthusiasm and creativity
for ministry. In the 2003 National Clergy Renewal Program, the Endowment anticipates awarding
approximately 125 grants of up to $45,000 each directly to congregations for the support
of a renewal program for their pastor. Up to $15,000 of the grant may be used for
congregational expenses associated with the renewal program. Deadline for submission
of proposals is July 18, 2003. Notification of grant awards will be made by December 2003. |

With Margaret's keen eye on the stock market and her love of education, Margaret established this scholarship for the future. |
