Listing of 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 channels the generosity of contributors through the creation and funding of grants, awards, honors, and other projects that support the improvement of mathematics teaching and learning.

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. Note: The application deadline for the 2010-2011 Prospective Secondary Teacher Course Work Scholarship, Prospective Middle School Mathematics Teacher Course Work Scholarships, Program of Mathematics Study & Active Professionalism Grants, PreK-8 Preservice Teacher Action Research Grants, Professional Development Scholarship Emphasizing the History of Mathematics, and School In-Service Training Grants (PreK-5, 6-8, 9-12) is May 7, 2010. All other applications must be postmarked by November 13, 2009. 

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.
