AMTE Conference Registration and Membership Scholarship

About the Award

The AMTE Conference Registration & Membership Scholarship provides financial support for mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) with limited travel funds to attend the AMTE annual conference. The award aims to provide an opportunity for MTEs to attend the annual conference for the first or second time (see Eligibility section below for details), and to broaden AMTE conference participation to include MTEs from a diverse array of agencies that support mathematics teachers. For the upcoming conference, a maximum of two MTEs will receive the award, which will cover the cost of early registration and one year of membership dues. To qualify, an applicant’s work must focus on the preparation or development of mathematics teachers, and the applicant must show that they have limited travel funds available from their institution or employer. Applications will be reviewed for eligibility and the potential for the applicant’s work to benefit from conference attendance.

Timeline:

Online applications are open from May to mid-June annually. Notifications of awardee status will be communicated by mid-August, ensuring awardees can take advantage of the early registration period.
