While you’re in the process of making (and hopefully keeping ☺) your New Year’s Resolutions, why not add, “Apply for an NCTM Mathematics Education Trust Grant” to your list.

The good news is you’ll have a few months to put your resolution into action—applications aren’t due until May 4, 2018.

Do you think you have a great idea for creatively using technology to teach mathematics this year? There’s a grant for that!

• Enhancing Student Mathematics Learning through the Use of Tools and Technology Grants (Pre-K-12)

Are you in a college program and planning to teach mathematics? Could you use some financial help? Check out:

• Prospective 7-12 Secondary Teacher Course Work Scholarships
• Prospective Middle School Mathematics Teacher Course Work Scholarships   

Are you already teaching and looking to do further coursework in mathematics/mathematics education? Then these grants might be of interest:

• Program of Mathematics Study & Active Professionalism Grants
• Professional Development Scholarship Emphasizing History, Number Theory, and Discrete Mathematics

Is your school looking to do in-service training in mathematics? MET has grants that could help:

• School In-Service Training Grants (Pre-K-5)
• School In-Service Training Grants (6-8)
• School In-Service Training Grants (9-12)

Do you have an idea for an Action Research Project? MET has a grant that funds collaborative research that involves PreK-8 teachers and/or coaches, Preservice teachers and university faculty:

• Pre-K–8 Preservice Teacher Action Research Grants

So resolve to make 2018 the year when you advance the teaching and learning of mathematics for you and your students with a Mathematics Education Trust grant. Happy New Year!
