The opportunity to apply is available to a student planning to major in education at an accredited college or university.

To assist the applicant in completing all the necessary documentation, a verification form must be completed and requires a signature by an employee of the student’s school.
Joseph J. Fox, Jr., a graduate of Frostburg State University, was a dedicated educator who understood that reading skills were necessary for students to succeed in academic content areas. During his twenty year career as a middle school English teacher in Frederick County Public Schools, he encouraged students and other teachers to reach for these goals. Mr. Fox became very active in the State of Maryland International Reading Association Council (SoMIRAC) from its very beginning. He served as president of the local Frederick County Reading Council, as well as president of SoMIRAC, and as State Coordinator where he served as our liaison with the International Reading Association. He was a man of integrity whose commitment and contagious enthusiasm inspired those of us who knew him and had the opportunity to work with him.
