Mu Alpha Theta is offering Summer Math Program/Research Grants to its members, with eligibility requiring that the member’s chapter has been active for the past twelve months. Grants of up to $2,000 per student are available, provided the student has been a member since at least the previous semester and will continue through the summer after graduation. Funds can be used for tuition or fees for accredited summer math programs, or for research-related expenses, but not for common courses like Calculus I or II. Reimbursements for research expenses will require receipts and a social security number for tax purposes.

Mu Alpha Theta is offering reimbursement grants of up to $1,000 per active chapter to support chapter projects that further the mission of Mu Alpha Theta to inspire interest in mathematics, develop strong scholarship in the subject, and/or promote the enjoyment of mathematics. Grants to a chapter cannot total more than $1,000 and once a chapter has been granted $1,000, they will not be considered for further funding. Funds are available on a first come/first serve basis until our budget for these grants is depleted. There is no deadline for the application, but once funds are gone, further grants will not be possible for the remainder of that fiscal year. Only sponsors may apply for chapter grants.

Mu Alpha Theta is offering competition grants of up to $500 per active chapter that may be used to pay expenses associated with the chapter participating in a mathematics competition.  Funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis until the budget for these grants is depleted.  Funds may not be used for Mu Alpha Theta’s National Convention.  For support for that competition, see Convention Grants. Only sponsors may apply for competition grants.

Convention Grants

In January 2014, the Mu Alpha Theta Educational Foundation introduced Classroom Teaching Grants for former members who are in their first through third year of teaching mathematics. Each year, a limited number of grants of up to $1,500 are available to fund classroom materials or professional organization memberships. Grants can cover math-related supplies, such as games, books, software, and manipulatives, but not personal computers or tablets. Recipients can submit receipts for reimbursement up to twice a year until they reach the total grant amount, with materials becoming their property unless donated to their school.
