SCST Mini-Grant

HISTORY
In order to encour­age its mem­bers to under­take schol­arly ini­tia­tives, in 1987 the Exec­u­tive Board of the Soci­ety for Col­lege Sci­ence Teach­ers (SCST) voted to ded­i­cate $1,000 each year to help col­lege sci­ence teach­ers who were mem­bers of SCST ini­ti­ate projects that advance the objec­tives of the Soci­ety. In 1994, the Board voted to increase the funds to $1,500. The increase allows SCST the flex­i­bil­ity to fund a greater num­ber of ini­tia­tives, or more costly initiatives.

PURPOSE

  1. fur­ther the devel­op­ment and/or the improve­ment of col­lege sci­ence courses,
  2. enhance com­mu­ni­ca­tion among col­lege sci­ence teach­ers and researchers at all lev­els, or
  3. pro­mote aware­ness of the sig­nif­i­cance of excep­tional sci­ence teaching.

ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS
