Paul M. St. Louis Scholarship application

The Connecticut Council of Language Teachers is pleased to recognize and reward the excellence and achievement of deserving students at all levels of instruction across the state by offering a variety of awards and scholarships.

In 2021, a scholarship in the amount of $1,000 was established in memory of Paul M. St. Louis, CT COLT’s longtime Treasurer. Prior to his retirement from the classroom, Paul’s passion and enthusiasm for the French language were evident in all that he did with his students at East Hartford High School. Paul’s love of the French language and his dedication to the world language profession made him CT COLT’s biggest advocate. The purpose of the award is to help defray college expenses for an undergraduate student majoring in French and teacher education. Applicants must have completed a minimum of 15 semester hours of work in the major field (introductory courses do not apply) and acceptance into the teacher education program of an accredited institution in the State of Connecticut. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better in the major field is required. Only those who have not previously received this award will be considered. 

The deadline for submissions is March 31. The scholarship recipient will agree to submit a brief summary of his/her post-secondary language experience to be published in the CT COLT newsletter.
