Application for 2023 Summer Teacher Programs


This summer, we will offer both in-person and online programs for classroom teachers.

Please complete the following application. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are required (although some fields will only apply to in-person programs, i.e. dietary and access restrictions).

Please ensure you include a valid email address where we can send important information over the summer months.

By applying to attend an in-person program, you agree to sign to our COVID-19 statement and waiver, which you can read in full here.

We encourage teachers to apply as soon as possible, as applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Capacity is limited for our in-person programs. Applying to an in-person program does not guarantee your participation. Humanities Texas will contact you by email to let you know if you have been accepted to the program or placed on a waiting list. If you have been accepted to participate, we will send you all necessary details in advance of the program.

For online programs where capacity will not be limited, we will send you program details in advance, including a full schedule and a Zoom link.

Please see the Humanities Texas travel policy for questions regarding travel reimbursement for in-person programs this summer.

Humanities Texas may send a press release about the program to your local paper should you attend. By submitting this application, you authorize Humanities Texas to share your contact information and photograph with members of the press.

**Please note: For the Houston and College Station institutes in summer 2023, on-campus housing accommodations will not be available. Instead, a block of hotel rooms reserved by Humanities Texas will be available to participating teachers. We will contact all out-of-town participants accepted to the institute via email to confirm whether you would like to reserve a room in the group block. Humanities Texas will cover the cost of these rooms during the institute. Alternatively, you will be able to make your own lodging arrangements for which we will reimburse you following your participation in the institute.
