Applications are Open for Jerry P. Becker Equitable Access Conference Scholarships
As many of you know, ICTM sadly said good-bye to Jerry Becker earlier this year.  Jerry was a long time math educator at SIU who made amazing contributions to math education within Illinois, the US, and internationally. To honor his legacy, ICTM is launching the Jerry P. Becker Scholarship Fund.  This fund will help award scholarships to Illinois teachers working in high-needs schools to be able to attend the ICTM annual conference, potentially help pay for travel expenses, and provide a free 1-year ICTM membership.  Applications are now being accepted for the 2022 conference. Click HERE for the application. Applications are due by midnight on 9/31. Read more about Jerry and this scholarship HERE!
