An award of $4,200 will be awarded annually to a part-time graduate student enrolled in the Master of Mathematics for Teachers program through the Centre of Education in Mathematics & Computing (CEMC) in the Faculty of Mathematics. Selection is based on current experience teaching in an Indigenous or northern/remote community in Canada. Preference will be given to a student entering their first year of the Master of Mathematics for Teachers program. However, if no eligible candidate is found, the award will be given to a continuing student who fits the award criteria.
