SAME offers a $400 scholarship for one K-12 teacher
to the annual NMEA conference in July of each year. Scholarship
awards are based on financial need and involvement with SAME.
As an applicant, you must be a current member of SAME at the time
of application. The scholarship covers costs towards the conference
registration and one field trip. Participants will be responsible
for their own transportation, lodging, and meals. You are expected
to participate in the full conference, taking advantage of all
conference sessions and field experiences offered. You will be
requested to submit an article about your conference experience
to the SAME newsletter, Wavelengths, and to the SAME
website within one month after the conference.
If awarded a scholarship, you will not be eligible for a scholarship
from SAME for two subsequent NMEA annual conferences. If you decline
to attend the conference, the scholarship will be forfeited and
can not be applied to other conferences.
