Now is the time to join other Nebraska teachers and take a math, science or pedagogy course offered by the Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes. Hundreds of teachers have registered so far for summer 2016 classes, sometimes with financial support from their district and often with the benefit of a supplemental fellowship available from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

It is still possible to receive up to a $300 supplemental NMSSI Fellowship (per class) that is applied directly to the cost of tuition, but the funding is limited. Apply now at http://go.unl.edu/scimathapply for the NMSSI Summer 2016 Fellowship, which is now limited to courses that have low enrollment.

Courses that need higher enrollment are:

TEAC 890 Omaha
Math 810T Omaha
Math 804T Omaha
TEAC 880E Omaha
Math 804T Hastings
Math 804P North Platte
Math 804P Grand Island
Math 800T Grand Island
CSCE 890 Lincoln
TEAC 924A Lincoln science
TEAC 924D Lincoln science

Courses in July (such as Math 804T Omaha, TEAC 880E Omaha, Math 804P and 800T in Grand Island, and TEAC 924A and 924D in Lincoln) are also eligible for loan forgiveness from NDE. The deadline to apply for EETP funds (Enhancing Excellence in Teaching) is this Friday, May 6.
