Who grants the scholarships for the Program?

The scholarships are part of a coordinated program between the Regional Government of Castile and Leon (Spain) and Tía Tula Colegio de Español, Instituto Cervantes Accredited Centre. Tía Tula Colegio de Español grants the scholarships.

Types and number of scholarships

There are two types of scholarships:

  • Full scholarship: Tía Tula Colegio de Español covers 100% of the total cost of the Professional Development Program for Teachers of Spanish (1390€). Number of full scholarships: 2 (adjudication by lottery among applicants). - CLOSED DEADLINE
  • Partial scholarship: Tía Tula Colegio de Español covers 60% of the total cost of the Professional Development Program for Teachers of Spanish (834€). The other 40% (556€) must be paid by the scholarship professor. If the scholarship professor later returned to Tía Tula with a group of at least 10 Spanish students, this other 40% would then be refunded. Number or partial scholarships: 20 (adjudication by order of receipt of applications).

How to apply and how the scholarships will be granted?

To apply for a scholarship, just complete and submit the Scholarship application form below.

With the option "Full scholarship" checked, you will participate in the raffle of the full scholarships of the Program*. With the option "Partial scholarship" also checked in the application form (in "Type of scholarship requested", section on the top), you will be expressing your interest in the partial scholarship too for the case of not winning a full scholarship. The partial scholarships will be granted on a first-signed, first-served basis: first applications for partial scholarship fully completed (payment of a 150€ deposit included**) will get the spot.

After Tía Tula's confirmation of a full or partial scholarship, the applicant will have 15 days to send Tía Tula a letter from his/her educational institution, proving being a teacher of Spanish for the course year 2024-2025.

* Raffle of the full scholarships of the Program

The raffle will take place in the following manner: each applicant will receive a randomly selected number between 0 and 99999 (lowest and highest number in the Spanish National Lottery: https://www.loteriasyapuestas.es/es/loteria-nacional). The two applicants with the numbers closest to the winning number in the Spanish National Lottery draw on Saturday, 22/02/2025 will be granted a full scholarship. Should two applicants have two numbers equidistant from the 'winning number', the highest of the two numbers will have precedence. For example, if 10000 were the 'winning number' and applicants had been assigned 9997, 9998, 9999, 10001, 10002 and 10003, the order of adjudication would be the following: 10001, 9999, 10002, 9998, 10003, 9997; therefore, in principle, the two scholarships would be assigned to the numbers 10001 and 9999.

Should a successful applicant reject the scholarship offer, the applicant holding the next closest number will be selected as a replacement (in the above example, applicant 10002 would be selected).

** A 150€ deposit is required to confirm the reservation of a partial scholarship; this deposit will be subtracted later of the payment of the complementary part to the scholarship (556€). The deposit will not be refundable if the student decides to cancel his/her spot at the end: only if a person who has obtained a partial scholarship wins the raffle of a full scholarship, this deposit will be refunded. Once the Program has been completed, if the scholarship professor returned to Tía Tula later with a group of at least 10 Spanish students, the complementary part (556€) would then be refunded.

Deadline

  • Deadline for full scholarships applications: 21/02/2025 (final day).
  • Deadline for partial scholarships applications: Two months before the start of the shift you are interested in. Note, however, that partial scholarships are adjudicated as applications are received with the payment of the reserve deposit included, so that the application closing period is usually determined rather by the exhaustion of the partial scholarships initially provided.

Optional Spanish Culture and Conversation Course

Additional and complementary to the Professional Development Program for Teachers of Spanish, Tía Tula offers a Spanish Culture and Conversation Course to those attendees who want it. It consists of an oral practice of Spanish to improve the Spanish level of the teachers and the treatment of different topics happening currently in Spain. This optional course, takes place one hour each day, complements perfectly with the Methodology Course (which is essentially focused in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language), and it has a cost of 175€. In case you are also interested on it, please tell us by email to scholarships@tiatula.com after complete and send your application for a scholarship.
