NCCAT will sponsor five (5) teacher spots to attend the Holocaust Educator Seminar in Poland, scheduled for July 19-27, 2026. Most expenses for the trip, including flights, lodging, some meals, and activities, will be included. Selected participants would return with significant expertise in the fields of Holocaust and Genocide Education. Preference will be given to Middle and High School English and social studies educators. The application can be found at this link. Application deadline is January 18, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Last year's schedule can be found here. Selected teachers will be notified by February 2, 2026. Please direct any questions to Karen Sumner at [email protected].
Please note: if not accepted for an NCCAT scholarship, there are additional opportunities for a scholarship with this same application for the trip. If selected, you will need to purchase insurance for the trip (approximately $250.00).
Also, last summer, Fox News 8 traveled alongside the North Carolina educators on this trip to Poland. The station broadcast a series of ten news segments and a one-hour-long special focusing on the teacher’s experiences in Poland. To access these Fox 8 News segments, click here.
