This year the Indiana Arts Commission is happy to announce the availability of a $100 stipend for teachers who complete a classroom or school Poetry Out Loud competition. We appreciate the time it takes for teachers to support students through this program, and this stipend is in recognition of their time and expertise.
Poetry Out Loud is a national arts education program that encourages the study of great poetry by offering free educational materials and a dynamic recitation competition for high school students across the country. This program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about literary history and contemporary life.
Please note:
- These stipends are for Indiana teachers who are hosting a classroom or school Poetry Out Loud competition.
- The stipend is a $100 honorarium
- Nonprofit partner organizations are not eligible.
- Only one teacher per school may request the funds.
- There is limited availability of these stipends. They will be approved on a first-come, first-served basis.
