Our Crowdfunding Groups
Crowdfund UC Davis thanks all of the donors who gave to this important project in February. This campaign has closed, but we are grateful for your support!
UPDATE:
We are humbled by the generosity and volume of donations towards "Promoting Excellence in STEM Teacher Education”. With the help of 28 donors, we have met and exceeded our goal of $4000 and now can give two Future STEM Educator Awards.
Since there are still 8 days left in our campaign, we have decided to aim higher and to announce a stretch goal of $5000. This would allow us to either increase the amount of those two initial awards or provide smaller awards for additional students.
The UC Davis CalTeach/MAST program inspires, prepares, and supports future STEM teachers through providing STEM majors with the opportunity to explore teaching through active in-classroom internships and seminar-style courses. The mission of CalTeach/MAST is to increase the number, quality, and diversity of STEM teachers entering the teacher workforce. This mission couldn't come at a more critical time, when there is a severe national shortage of K-12 math and science teachers,
You can help these students who aspire to become STEM teachers by supporting this campaign. The funds raised will grant two $2000 rewards to two outstanding UC Davis STEM students—one majoring in math and one in science or engineering—who have been accepted to the UC Davis Teacher Education Program for Fall 2024.
The awards will meet two important goals: to provide financial support for these future teachers in their credential year and to acknowledge the exceptional quality of their preparation to become teachers during their undergraduate years.
Our crowdfunding project will have long-lasting impacts because every newly trained STEM teacher will make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of students over their entire tenure as teachers.
