The Somerville Mathematics Fund, an affiliate of Dollars for Scholars,  was chartered in September 2000 to celebrate and encourage achievement in mathematics in the city of Somerville, Massachusetts.  We are a non-profit, tax-exempt organization run completely by volunteers.  We are offering grants of up to $500 for K - 12 teachers of Somerville students for a project to improve or enrich mathematics instruction in the classroom or in an after-school program.  The teacher should be teaching in a school located in Somerville.  The postmark application deadline for this year's grant is 14 January 2012. Teachers can apply as a team for one grant. Please make sure to include the information on the first page about each teacher.
