A quality education in science is fast disappearing as more and more science teachers leave the profession due to inadequate administrative support, isolated working conditions, and lower salaries. Started by a generous contribution from NSTA's past President, Dr. John Penick, The Next Generation Science Teachers Fund provides support by funding pre-service and new teacher memberships in NSTA and complimentary registrations to NSTA's annual conference on science education. Scholarship awardees get: - The opportunity to network and speak directly with over 50,000 other science teachers across the country!
- 24/7 immediate access to NSTA's library of printed and electronic materials they can use every day to bring their students the kind of education they need and deserve!
- Attendance to NSTA's national conference that will give them access to years' worth of new teaching ideas and inspiration in one week!
If you're a preservice science teacher or in your first five years of teaching, we encourage you to apply. Our first cohort will be named at the end of January, 2018. Making your end-of-year giving plans? Please consider donating* and help new teachers love their new calling as much as you do.
