We are pleased to announce that the 20% tuition discount for current Nebraska classroom teachers has been approved for this summer for in-person and web conferencing courses in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes. Visit the course catalog here: https://go.unl.edu/nmssi-course-catalog-2022
Courses will be delivered in three formats: in person, web conferencing (live/synchronous on Zoom), and online (on-demand/asynchronous). If travel or in-person courses are not feasible for you, we encourage you to “learn in place” again and take advantage of web conferencing or online courses.
As follows are the courses available in mathematics, mathematics pedagogy and science, organized by grade level. Note: Times listed are approximate, as the live, whole-group hours on Zoom will fall within that window of time; we recommend you save the rest of the listed time for working in small groups on homework.

NMSSI Fellowships, typically $300 per course, can further reduce the cost of one course to $590.15 (in person outside of Lincoln), $793.15 (for in-person in Lincoln or via web conferencing), or one online asynchronous course to $896. In some cases, fellowships worth $500 are available. Note that (1) online asynchronous courses do not qualify for the 20% tuition discount and (2) web conferencing courses do not qualify for the University and Program Facilities Fees (UPFF) waiver.
