GT/GSU Impacting Metro-Atlanta Science Teaching (I-MAST)

The GT/GSU Impacting Metro-Atlanta Science Teaching (I-MAST) program is offering an Info Session this week:
Thursday, Feb. 3rd
6:00 p.m.
Success Center, President's Suite A

This program is for Tech undergrads, alumni, and graduate students who want to become science teachers (grades 6-12) and who want to earn their master's degree and teacher certification through Georgia State's MAT in Science. Tech undergrads who are rising seniors are eligible for scholarships of up to $24,000 ($12,000 during their senior year at Tech, and another $12,000 during their 1 year in the MAT program at GSU). Students who apply for the I-MAST at the time they begin the MAT are eligible for one year of funding ($12,000). I-MAST scholars are highly recruited by several metro-area school districts. Majors in the sciences and engineering are eligible to apply.

The deadline to apply for funding beginning this Fall is February 16. Information about the program, funding, and application process will be covered at the Info Session. Everyone is invited to attend. If you have questions or need more information about the I-MAST program or going into science education, contact Beth Spencer at 404-385-3665 or beth.spencer@provost.gatech.edu.
