UNL’s Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes (NMSSI) is excited to announce a special offer for teachers who are taking a graduate course through the NMSSI for the first time! Our Newcomers Program awards a $200 bonus to teachers who are new to the NMSSI**. This fellowship is in addition to the 20% tuition discount for current Nebraska teachers (for courses that are not online asynchronous) and will be added to any NMSSI Fellowships that are awarded for specific courses via that application process. To be considered for the Newcomers program, simply respond “no” to the NMSSI Fellowship application question that asks if you have previously taken any NMSSI courses! Spread the word: The Newcomers offer ends May 31.
