NOMINATIONS FOR 2025 RSLA ARE OPEN! The ACTR Russian Scholar Laureate Awards were first presented in 2005. From each secondary school where Russian is taught one sophomore or junior may be nominated to receive the award as the school’s most outstanding student of Russian for that year. Students receive a unique lapel pin to wear, a certificate of award suitable for framing, and have their name, photograph, school, and teacher’s name printed in the fall issue of the ACTR Letter. Congratulatory letters also go to the student’s teacher and the principal or headmaster of the school. Students are nominated by a teacher; the teacher nominating a student for this award must be a current member of ACTR. |
The American Council of Teachers of Russian designates ACTR Russian Scholar Laureates each school year. Every school with an established Russian program may designate one outstanding sophomore or junior for
this award. Institutions can nominate one student per hundred Russian students. For example, a school with 300 students can nominate 3 students. To nominate more than one student, fill out the form multiple times.
The student’s Russian teacher should complete an online application-nomination by clicking the "Submit the nomination" button. The nomination must be completed and received no later than June 30 each year. Only online completed application-nominations are accepted. The Russian Scholar Laureate from each school receives: - The student receives a letter in October; - The date of receiving an award depends on the time of publication of ACTR newsletter:
There is no fee for participation, but teachers must be current members of the American Council of Teachers of Russian by the decision of the ACTR Board of Directors. | Contact us Lauren Nelson, Co-chair lanelson at pritzkercollegeprep.org Robert Chura, Co-chair rchura at sluh.org |
