Math Education Scholarship Award (MESA)

Program Description and Rationale

MESA是一个奖学金项目，旨在帮助有能力的本科生到EOU攻读数学学士学位，并为进入教育学院的教学硕士/教师许可项目做好准备。MESA项目是专门为有兴趣成为中学数学老师的本科生设计的。俄勒冈州东部的中学需要训练有素的教师来提供高等水平的数学课程，现在所有学校的数学共同核心标准都要求这些课程。EOU有能力从其项目中培养出更多的教师，MESA奖学金项目将帮助学生进入EOU的数学和教师教育项目。奖学金金额从每年2000美元到4000美元不等，可能每年更新一次，直到毕业。
