EDMOND — Math and science public school teachers in Edmond may apply through Nov. 13 for professional development scholarships in math and science. The scholarships are being offered through the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, a nonprofit organization that recognizes and encourages academic excellence in Oklahoma’s public schools.
The Teacher Scholarships for Professional Development program includes special funds for Oklahoma City metro-area math and science teachers made possible through a gift from the Boeing Company.
The program is designed to enhance students’ learning by helping teachers attend top-quality regional, national and international workshops and institutes in their chosen fields. The scholarships help cover the costs of tuition, transportation, lodging and the expense of hiring a substitute teacher.
Scholarships will be awarded this December for teacher conferences and institutes scheduled in 2010. Applications are available on the Foundation for Excellence Web site at www.ofe.org. Applications must be postmarked on or before Nov. 13.
For more information or to learn about giving opportunities to the Teacher Scholarship Fund, contact the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence at 236-0006 or visit the foundation’s Web site at www.ofe.org
