Show U of U Offers Special Science Scholarships The University of Utah, in an effort to bolster the nation's na-tion's supply of qualified scientists, scient-ists, is launching a special program pro-gram to give additional training train-ing to high school science and mathematics teachers. The proram, the Academic Year Institute, was made possible pos-sible by a grant from the National Na-tional S.c i e n c e Foundation. Fifty fellowships are available to teachers in Utah, Idaho, and New Mexico, according to Dr. Thomas J. Parmley, director of the Institute. "These are unusually generous gener-ous fellowships and those who obtain one will receive a stipend sti-pend of $3000. a dependency allowance al-lowance of $300 per dependent, one year's free tuition in the University's graduate school, a book allowance of $50 and travel allowance of $160," Dr. Parmley noted. The ultimate intent of the program is to motivate an increasing in-creasing number of young people peo-ple toward careers in mathematics mathe-matics and physical and biological biologi-cal sciences. The National Science Sci-ence Foundation has aimed the program at the high school teachers in these fields as the key people in this objective. Those interested in applying for the program, which will run from September 1957 to June 1958, are urged to contact con-tact Dr. Parmley, Physical Science Building, Room 211, University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Deadline for applications is February 21, 1957. |
