The Great Neck Board of Education
and the
Great Neck Teachers Association (GNTA)
announce the
2021 Summer Scholarship Program
Application Deadline: April 29, 2021
Application can be found at the bottom of the instructions below.

Summer Scholarships

Article 52 of the Board of Education-Great Neck Teachers Association Agreement provides funds for summer scholarships. These scholarships will be available for courses or programs that are subject-matter oriented. Interested teachers must apply for scholarships prior to April 29. Screening of applications will be done by the Summer Scholarship Committee and final selections will be made by May 15. 

Approval from the Summer Scholarship Committee does not mean automatic approval from the Inservice Institute, nor does it mean your course is automatically approved for salary class advancement. 
 
Please read the directions carefully and click the button at the bottom of the page to access the application.  
 
If you have questions, please ask; no exceptions will be made in regards to the application or reimbursement regulations. Contact the Summer Scholarship Committee at Summerscholarship@greatneck.k12.ny.us with your questions.

       a. Original credit card receipt OR
       b. Copy of credit card statement with your name on the statement or bank statement (if paying with debit card).  Many credit         card companies will not provide a statement with your name on it, so please check with your company before choosing to              pay with a credit card — we cannot issue reimbursement without your name on the statement. If only your spouse’s name is          on the  statement, please send a copy of your credit with the all but the last four digits blocked out.  If your statement is in
        your maiden name, please attach a copy of your marriage license.  Please make sure all other items are crossed out on the             statement, we just   need to see the applicable charge.

You must submit, and label, the above five (5) pieces of documentation no later than October 1, 2021. Please label and submit all paperwork together. Any incomplete claim packet WILL BE RETURNED, thus delaying your reimbursement check. Please keep a copy of all submitted paperwork for your records.
