MCTM Members - Summer State Math Conference

******* DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 2, 2017 ********

Dear MCTM Member,
 
With cutbacks in school/district professional development monies, many more teachers are paying for PD opportunities from their own funds. The MCTM Scholarship Committee is excited to offer for a second year an opportunity to MCTM members: $500 Teacher Conference Scholarships to attend the MCTM Annual Institute and Conference! 
 
Any teachers who is an MCTM member is eligible to receive the scholarship except for current MCTM Board Members.  Scholarship applications and guidelines are available on the MCTM website at (https://www.mictm.org/index.php/scholarships/teacher-conference).   Applications are due by close of business on May 2, 2017, with recipients notified by May 20, 2017. Up to six (6) $500 scholarships will be awarded.
 
The application is made up of an information form as well as a brief, typed proposal (two pages maximum), a letter of support that describes your role in mathematics education (preferable from your current administrator), and confirmation that you are a current member.  Details are available at the link above.
 
Applications are due no later than May 2, 2017 and are to be emailed with attachments to info@mictm.org.
