Preservice Teacher Scholarship

The Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics will award up to three $1,000 scholarships to college or university students in Indiana working towards a teaching certificate in a field that includes the teaching of mathematics in elementary, middle or high school. Individuals who have taught professionally are not eligible for these scholarships. Applications must be submitted by May 15 each year. Scholarships are awarded in late July and payment is made to the college or university by August. (Please note colleges and universities receive the award and not the individual.) Recipients of the scholarship must attend a university or college in the school year immediately following the July award.
