Description
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) offers a limited number of child care reimbursement grants to help parents participate more fully in its sectional meetings. Administered by the AMS Meetings and Conferences Department, the program supports any form of child care that enables a parent’s participation, whether care takes place at home or at the meeting.
Families may use the support for arrangements such as hiring a nanny at home or bringing a caregiver to the meeting. The program reimburses child care rather than providing it: parents are responsible for making their own arrangements, and AMS neither provides on-site child care nor recommends providers. Awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis.
