FMSEA TEACHER TRUST FUND AWARD – INDIVIDUAL SCHOLARSHIP FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
FMSEA TEACHER TRUST FUND AWARD – INDIVIDUAL SCHOLARSHIP FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
The FMSEA Board of Directors voted to establish an environmental education trust fund at its October 10, 1993 meeting. The fund is in support of staff development which includes teacher in-service training and enhancement. A special thank you goes to R. Duncan Matthewson for his efforts in helping to establish this fund.
Individual Scholarships will be presented to FMSEA members to attend either an environmental professional development program or a professional conference (including the FMSEA annual conference). Awards may cover registration, travel or accommodation costs. Applicants are encouraged to secure matching funds from sources other than FMSEA. All award winners must agree to:
Acknowledgments of FMSEA support in all activities related to the funded program,
File copies with FMSEA of all products/projects generated by the program,
A short, written report on the program/conference for the annual FMSEA Journal or present a session at the FMSEA Annual Conference.
Please notify president-elect@fmsea.org after completing a scholarship application.
