Current Grants, Scholarships, and Awards 

Established by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the Mathematics Education Trust (MET) offers opportunities to expand your professional horizons! MET supports the improvement of mathematics teaching and learning at the classroom level through the funding of grants, awards, honors, and other projects by channeling the generosity of contributors into classroom-based efforts that benefit all students.

MET provides funds to support classroom teachers in the areas of improving classroom practices and increasing teachers' mathematical knowledge. MET also sponsors activities for prospective teachers and NCTM's Affiliates, as well as recognizing the lifetime achievement of leaders in mathematics education. There may be a program that's just right for you!

The NCTM Lifetime Achievement Awards are presented annually following a nomination and selection process. Other awards are available through a competitive process based on proposals submitted by individual applicants. Applications for the 2008–2009 Prospective Secondary Teacher Course Work Scholarship and the 2009-2010 School In-Service Training Grants (K-5, 6-8, 9-12) must be postmarked by May 9, 2008. All other 2009–2010 applications must be postmarked by November 14, 2008. 

Please help us support these programs! Send your tax-deductible gift to MET. Your gift, no matter its size, will help us reach our goal of providing a high-quality mathematics learning experience for all students.
