Fellowships worth $300 are available to help cover tuition for courses for teachers through the Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes (NMSSI) from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln this summer. Join your colleagues and earn 3 graduate credits in just one week!
During the months of June and July, several science courses for teachers are available to provide a superb opportunity to deepen your knowledge of science and the teaching of science, thereby benefiting the students you teach – and to have fun learning.
Teachers can apply online for an NMSSI Fellowship to help cover the cost of tuition. The fellowship application site is the last step in the course enrollment process, which can be found summarized in four simple steps on our web page: http://scimath.unl.edu/nmssi.
