JimFest

We have limited funding available for lodging and partial travel to approximately 40 participants. Our priorities include encouraging participation by faculty at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and by teachers/administrators in high-need districts. We also prioritize those who participate in the conference as part of a team who can work together to affect change locally based on outcomes and findings from the conference. Such a team may include, for example, a PK12 teacher and a PK12 administrator from the same district, plus a teacher educator and a mathematician from a partnering university. We encourage participation from MSIs and high-need districts regardless of whether you are applying individually or as a team. Please note that while we can support lodging and travel, there are limitations on what we can use our grant funding for. Therefore we ask all participants to pay the registration fee. Please complete the form linked above to apply for funding.

Review of applications for funding begins May 1. We will accept funding applications through May 10.

Note that to apply for funding, you will need to register for the event. There are different options for payment, including an "invoice". If you select this option, you will not be billed until later. If you select this option, you will be required to confirm or withdraw your registration by 5pm CDT on May 15.

Questions and issues with registration should be directed to Lisa Maupin.
