Mini-Grant Applications

If you are a DACTM member you can apply for this $500 mini-grant. Mini-grants are for teachers who have a special project for their classroom, who want to further their education or for professional development such as conference attendance.  

Scholarship Applications

Purpose:

The goal is to financially assist students currently enrolled in a teacher education program with a mathematics specialty. The award is to be used for tuition, books, labs, and fees necessary to fulfill requirements for a BA or BS degree with teacher certification in mathematics.

Current teachers who are members of DACTM can also apply for this scholarship for college level courses in mathematics.

Eligibility:

Pre-service applicants must be currently enrolled at a Michigan college or university in an elementary or secondary teacher education program with a mathematics specialty. An applicant must be a college/university junior or senior in good academic standing by September 30 of the current year with an overall GPA of 3.00 or higher. In addition, secondary education majors must have successfully completed the college’s or university's required calculus sequence, while elementary education majors must have at least a mathematics minor.

The classification (junior or senior) for an applicant who has earned a degree in another area and has enrolled in a teacher education program will be determined by his/her status of September 30 of the current year.

Teachers applying for a scholarship must be DACTM members currently teaching mathematics or newly assigned to a mathematics teaching position.

Award:

A check for $1,000 will be paid to the scholarship recipient(s). The term of each scholarship is for one year and shall not be renewable.
