Administered by the National Science Foundation on behalf of the White House, the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) recognizes outstanding elementary and secondary mathematics and science teachers. Applications are available on the NSF website.
Since 1983, more than 3,000 teachers have been selected as Presidential Awardees. They represent a premier group of mathematics and science teachers who bring national and state standards to life in their classrooms. They provide the nation with an impressive array of expertise to help improve teaching and learning while becoming more deeply involved in activities such as curriculum materials selection, research and professional development.
Teachers applying for the PAEMST must be nominated. Anyone (e.g., principals, teachers, students, and other members of the general public) may nominate a teacher. Self-nominations will not be accepted.
Each Presidential Awardee will receive a $10,000 award from the NSF and gifts from donors. Each awardee, along with a guest, will also be invited to attend recognition events in Washington, D.C.
