Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship
http://www.act.org/goldwater/
The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was established by Congress in 1986 to honor Senator Barry M. Goldwater, who served his country for 56 years as a soldier and statesman, including 30 years of service in the U.S. Senate. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians, and engineers by awarding scholarships to college students who intend to pursue careers in these fields. Note: Students must be nominated for a Goldwater Scholarship by their institution's Goldwater faculty representative; direct applications are not accepted. Web page provides name of MSU faculty representative.

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)
Improving Students’ Understanding of Geometry Grants for Grades K–8 Teachers
http://www.nctm.org/resources/content.aspx?id=1324
The purpose of this grant is to develop activities that will enable students to better appreciate and understand some aspect of geometry that is consistent with the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics of NCTM. For 2009–2010, grants with a maximum of $3,000 each will be awarded to persons currently teaching at the grades K–8 level. The project should include applications of geometry to, for example, art, literature, music, architecture, nature, or some other relevant area and may integrate the use of technology into the teaching of geometry. The activities may use published materials. Any published sources must be documented. Any acquisition of equipment or payment of personal stipends must be critical to the grant proposal and may not be a major portion of the proposed budget. Proposals must address the following: geometry content, the appropriateness of the application, the link between the Geometry Standard and the project’s activities, and the anticipated impact on students’ learning.
The applicant must be a current (as of October 15, 2008) Full Individual or E-Member of NCTM or teach at a school with a current (as of October 15, 2008) NCTM K–8 school membership. No person(s) may receive more than one award administered by the Mathematics Education Trust in the same academic year. Past recipients of this grant are not eligible to reapply. Project activities are to be completed between June 1, 2009, and May 31, 2010.

U.S. Army's eCYBERMISSION Competition
Solving Community Problems Through Math & Science
http://www.ecybermission.com
Registration for this year's competition is September 1–December 12, 2005.
For the U.S. Army's eCYBERMISSION competition, teams of three or four students apply what they have learned in math, science, and technology to solve problems within their own communities. The students conduct research and experiments to test their hypotheses, reach out to community leaders, and communicate with on-line CyberGuides, Army personnel who are experts in science, math, and technology. In this Web-based competition, students in grades 6-9 solve community problems in health and safety, arts and entertainment, sports and recreation, and the environment. Winners can receive up to $8000 -- $3,000 for regional winners and an additional $5,000 for national winners! They also receive an all-expense paid trip to the nation's capital and are hosted by the U.S. Army. Sixteen regional winning teams and four grand-prize winning teams will be chosen.

Registrants then receive a list of all currently relevant funding sources. The registration information is stored and can be used on subsequent visits. The entire sign-up process, and delivery of available funding sources, can be a bit tedious: about five to twenty minutes, depending on the connection speed. Approximately 500 new scholarships are added to the database daily, so registrants can stay current.
