How You Inspire!

The MET Board is charged with the difficult task of selecting the winner for each grant and scholarship category. I personally take great pleasure in reading the applications and inspired by the stories. A proposal may outline the need for engaging resources or
interactive technology for students. Another proposal may request particular materials and books to guide teachers in developing lessons or mastering a new instructional strategy. I’m especially inspired by the compelling stories from those requesting funds to complete their mathematics degree programs and
teaching certifications. Some applicants knew at an early age they wanted to be a mathematics teacher. Others had examples set by former teachers or family members who are teachers. A few applicants recalled the struggle learning mathematics in school as motivation to become a teacher. Experienced teachers
desiring to teach higher-grade levels request funding for additional coursework.
MET is here to support the important work of teachers. Check out our many
grants and scholarships. There is one just for you!
