Scholarship Description
The purpose of this grant is to provide financial assistance to future teachers of mathematics for attendance at NCTM conferences. The Mathematics Education Trust will fund up to $1,200 (+ Conference Registration) for travel and subsistence expenses for full-time undergraduate or graduate students who are committed to teaching mathematics in grades PreK–12 to attend an NCTM annual meeting or a regional meeting of NCTM. Applicants must be current student members of NCTM. Entries will be judged on the following criteria: acceptable academic record and standing, expressed interest in and commitment to teaching mathematics, and anticipated benefits of conference attendance, and clarity of the proposal.Applicants at the undergraduate level must be currently enrolled in a state-approved certification program and be on at least the second semester of their Junior year with a GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or better. Graduate students must be enrolled in a master’s level program leading to certification or one designed to strengthen the teaching and learning process. Individuals already certified must be currently enrolled in an accredited graduate program. Applicants must be committed to teaching grades PreK–12 and have a sincere interest in mathematics education. Any air-travel arrangements must be made through the designated NCTM travel agent so NCTM can directly pay for travel.No person(s) may receive more than one award administered by the Mathematics Education Trust in the same academic year. Past recipients of this grant are not eligible to reapply.
