The Arkansas Humanities Council is pleased to announce the new Raising Education Achievement and Competence in the Humanities (R.E.A.C.H.) grant initiative.

The R.E.A.C.H. initiative is supported by a generous grant from the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation.

This is a very exciting opportunity for teachers and librarians who wish to expand humanities education in the classroom in new innovative ways.  One of the advantages of the R.E.A.C.H. grant initiative is that it offers teachers and librarians up to $2,000 for humanities-related professional development opportunities directly tied to Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) credentialing.

The Arkansas Humanities Council will be accepting R.E.A.C.H. grant application beginning May 1, 2011.  For more information, please contact Jama Best, Senior Program Officer, Arkansas Humanities Council, 407 President Clinton Avenue, Suite 201, Little Rock, AR  72201 or 501.320.5761 or via email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
