CMSE Graduate Research Fellowship
The Center for Mathematics and Science Education (CMSE) at the University of Mississippi seeks to improve the quality of mathematics and science education in Mississippi by promoting an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. To achieve this mission, the CMSE works closely with students, current teachers and administrators, and those involved in preparing teachers for the future.
Additionally, the CMSE offers graduate fellowships to students pursuing a masters or doctorate in mathematics education, science education, or elementary education (with an emphasis in math or science). These are competitive fellowships in which professionals with exemplary skills as a mathematics or science teacher and a passion for teaching and learning are recruited. Those who possess a desire to see students succeed and an excitement about teaching mathematics and/or science can be infectious. These are the qualities that the CMSE looks for when recruiting fellows.
