Conference Registration Scholarships

The PME-NA Steering Committee is pleased to announce the continuation of a scholarship program to cover the cost of conference registration. For 2018, we have a budget of $15,000 for these scholarships. Scholarship recipients will be chosen based on a range of criteria, including the following: academic position, acceptance - status of proposals, availability of other travel support, and historical representation of their geographic area or institution. All applications will be reviewed by the Scholarship Subcommittee of the PME-NA Steering Committee.

Please note that the deadline to apply for a registration scholarship for the 2018 PME-NA conference has already passed.
