COLLEGE OF EDUCATION ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS IN SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
AWARD PERIOD: 2012 - 2013
The purpose of these scholarships is to assist Upper-Division Undergraduate students and Post-Baccalaureate students who are pursuing teacher certification in Science Education or Mathematics Education. The donors want to support pre-service teachers who are committed to teaching Science or Mathematics at the Secondary level by awarding them between $1000 and $2,500. Multiple awards may be given this year. Some of these awards have additional criteria, e.g., financial need, GPA, having gone to high school in Texas, so there are questions that ask for that information.
Students may submit the application at any time before the due date. Applications are considered at the end of the spring semester during each award period. Students are notified as soon as possible.
