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.
This fund is made possible by a donation from Barry Ferguson & Angela Googh with the goal to support math education in northern, remote and Indigenous communities in Canada. The award was named in honour of the donors' ancestor, Agibcona.
The period of this defined term award will be from 2020 to 2024. The first selection will be made in June 2020 and the last in June 2024.
Interested applicants must complete an application found on the CEMC website and submit it to the MMT program director by June 1.
