VCTM Scholarship Program
Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics
The Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics encourages those persons interested in becoming teachers of mathematics by offering up to 2 scholarships of $2000 annually. VCTM's objective in establishing this program is to unite the efforts of its members who seek to improve the teaching of mathematics.
