To: Multiple recipients of list EDTECH <EDTECH@MSU.EDU>

Some members of this list may wish to honor an outstanding teacher
or program by making a nomination for the PRESIDENTIAL AWARD for
EXCELLENCE in SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, and ENGINEERING MENTORING.

The White House has established the Presidential Awards for
Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring.
The Program seeks to identify outstanding mentoring efforts or
programs designed to enhance the participation of groups
underrepresented in science, mathematics, and engineering,
including minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.

A grant in the amount of $10,000 will accompany the award along
with a commemorative Presidential certificate. Each awardee will
be invited to Washington, DC, for an awards ceremony and will be
honored at a White House ceremony in May 1996.

INDIVIDUAL awardees must have demonstrated outstanding and
sustained mentoring and effective guidance to a significant number
of students at the K-12, undergraduate, or graduate education
level; INSTITUTIONAL or ORGANIZATIONAL awardees will have
programming that has enabled a substantial number of students
underrepresented in science, mathematics, and engineering to
successfully pursue and complete the relevant degree or
enhancement programs. Nominees must have mentored for at least
five years.

To get the nomination package, send an e-mail to

stisinfo@nsf.gov

and in the body of the message enter

You will receive the package (about 7000 bytes) by auto-reply.

DEADLINE for making nominations: Monday, April 15, 1996.

==========
This grant is not an ACT program; however, ACT is supportive of
all efforts to honor outstanding teachers and programs that are
mentoring students in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering.
