. MCTM Spring Conference 2020 – April 23 – 25, 2020.  

“The MCTM conference brought to me what a crisp salad full of fruits and vegetables brings to the body, a sense of nourishment. Sustenance came for me in the form of workshops, networking opportunities, and a calling to give back my time in service.”  – a quote from one of our awardees. 

 

The MCTM Foundation offers Spring Conference Support Grants.  This year, we will be updating the applications to reflect some of the following changes: 

  • Teams of 3 or more will receive a maximum award of $1650
  • All applicants will need to include their Minnesota teacher license number. 
  • Money will not be awarded for meals beyond those included in conference registration.
  • As part of your application, we would like you to “describe your involvement in mathematics advocacy.”  We want to know what MCTM activities you have attended, taken part in, etc. 
  • Applications will be updated by mid-December.  

MCTM awards the Ross Taylor Mathematics & Leadership Scholarship.  It provides support of up to $500 for teachers to attend the Ross Taylor Symposium. 

As of Spring 2019, the MCTM Foundation has awarded grants and scholarships to 112 teachers, totaling $44,184.50.  We would like to be able to award more grants.  If you would like to donate, go to  http://www.mctm.org/foundation.php#Donations ….
