Applications
for Cohort Seven are
now being accepted. Applications must be RECEIVED by May 21st
Eligibility
Faculty teaching mathematics at a community or
technical college or other associate degree-granting institutions may
apply provided:
* They have a masters degree or higher in mathematics, mathematics
education or other related field with significant coursework in
graduate-level mathematics, and
* The 2010-11 academic year will be the first, second or third year of
their first full-time, renewable position at any community college.
(Note: Contracts for the current position should begin Fall term, 2008
or later.) Adjunct, part-time and full-time temporary faculty are
ineligible. It is expected that most participants will be recent
graduates with master or doctoral degrees, or adjunct faculty members
who have moved into full-time positions.
The first six groups of ACCCESS Fellows (Cohorts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6)
are
listed elsewhere on this site. AMATYC Project ACCCESS will select
another group (Cohort 7) of about twenty-four participants for
2010 - 2011
Cost
The cost is shared by
the participant's home institution and AMATYC. Funding will be
provided by AMATYC for
· Conference Registration
(Boston, MA
and Austin, TX conferences)
· AMATYC Project ACCESS
workshops (Boston,
MA
and Austin, TX conferences)
· The Saturday night meal (Boston, MA
and Austin, TX conferences)
· Airfare (up to
$300) for the Boston,
MA conference
· Two nights’
lodging (double
occupancy) for the Boston, MA, conference
· AMATYC membership for both
years (2010
and 2011) of the fellowship
We
estimate
that the total
institutional commitment will be approximately $2000 spread over the
two years of the Fellowship. Assurances of institutional support
and eligibility are of
critical importance in the acceptance process.
Deadlines
The deadline for submitting applications is May 21st. Please
notice that this is the date they must be in, NOT the postmark deadline.

available to
attend the following during
their fellowship year:

As an integral part of their professional development during their
Fellowship year, Fellows are expected to develop, implement, and
evaluate a project at their home institution. Fellows will also
participate in an electronic network which will link ACCCESS Fellows
and a group of distinguished mathematics educators.
