NISE Scholarship INFO 2024

Calling all high school teachers! Everyday, you teach the young people who will become our future scientists, engineers, and science educators. The members of the NISE Board of Directors would like to award scholarships to YOUR best and brightest students as they plan for their future and become the future leaders in STEM!

It is important to note that we primarily promote these scholarships to NISE educators who attend our events. In the end, the vast major of the applicants come from YOUR classrooms and the chance of your students winning are much higher than most scholarships out there. It is worth your students time to apply.

BOB ABRAMS GRANT

ISE provides a grant to educators looking to attend the annual NISE Conference. The goal of this scholarship is to provide at least two science educators (ideally 1 elementary and 1 high school) with the opportunity to participate in staff development when the lack of school/district funding would prevent that participation. As such, this scholarship will pay the registration fees for at least two science educators to attend the annual Northern Illinois Science Educators' (NISE) Conference. [more]
