San Antonio, Texas – The Texas Wildlife Association Foundation and San Antonio Livestock Exposition, Inc. announce the opportunity for two deserving teachers to be recognized for their contributions and earn a financial award for their school in the amount of $2,500.  This $2,500 school “scholarship” will be awarded to the school in recognition of the winning teachers’ use of innovative techniques and curricula to promote natural resource literacy among their students.

Any teacher teaching in an accredited K-12 school is eligible to apply.  At least one of the awards will go to a teacher from Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Frio, Gillespie, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Kendall, Kerr, Medina, Real, Uvalde, Wilson, or Zavala counties. Texas Wildlife Association representative, Tamara Trail notes, “TWA Foundation and SALE, Inc. are committed to the future of natural resources and youth education. What better way to illustrate this commitment than to acknowledge the efforts of teachers who demonstrate their personal commitment to the future of youth and natural resources on a daily basis?”

Applicants must complete an application that is available through the Texas Wildlife Association.  Applications are due by April 1, 2011 and the winner will be announced by May 15, 2011.  Download an application from their website at www.texas-wildlife.org.
