FORT COLLINS--Colorado State University students who plan to teach math

Collaborative scholarships for amounts up to $3,000.
The RMTEC will award funds in September for the 1997-98 academic year.
Scholarships are funded by the National Science Foundation and designed to
increase diversity in teaching and to promote improved training for teachers.

is a unique opportunity to receive funding and be exposed to RMTEC, a
progressive teacher preparation organization," said Mary McAfee, diversity
coordinator for RMTEC.
