NCTM’s 2018 Annual Meeting will be held in Washington, D.C. from April 25–28. Have you always wanted to go to an NCTM annual meeting, but just didn’t know how you could afford it?

NCTM’s Mathematics Education Trust (MET) Board has grant opportunities that might help you get there!

If you are teaching this year and have never before attended an NCTM annual meeting, then the Future Leader Initial NCTM Annual Meeting Attendance Awards might be of interest to you! This award provides up to $1500, plus meeting registration, for travel, subsistence, and substitute teacher costs to attend the Washington, D.C. Annual Meeting and Exposition. Get all the details about this award, including the proposal requirements and the proposal cover form, online.

If you are a full-time undergraduate or graduate student who is committed to teaching mathematics in grades Pre-K–12, then the Prospective Teacher NCTM Annual Conference Attendance Award might be your ticket to Washington, D.C. This award provides up to $1500, plus meeting registration, for travel and subsistence expenses for a full-time undergraduate or graduate student who is committed to teaching mathematics in grades Pre-K–12 to attend the NCTM annual meeting, or a regional meeting of NCTM. Again, all the details about this award, the proposal requirements, and proposal cover form, are available online.

So have a look at these award opportunities, decide if they might work for you, and maybe we’ll see you in Washington, D.C. next April.
