This grant funds partnerships between high schools and colleges to develop innovative programs that help 12th graders not yet college-ready succeed in credit-bearing college math courses.
Funder: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
Due Dates: November 1, 2026
Funding Amounts: Up to $8,000 per partnership team for a two-year project period.
Summary: Supports high school and college partnerships to develop innovative programs that prepare 12th graders not yet ready for college math for success in credit-bearing courses.
Description
This grant supports collaborative efforts between high schools and local higher education institutions to design and implement innovative, forward-looking approaches to 12th grade mathematics preparation. The primary objective is to eliminate remedial approaches and instead create engaging pathways that prepare students—who are not yet ready for college-level mathematics—for enrollment in credit-bearing college math courses before their first semester. Projects must focus on measurable solutions to transitional barriers, effective teaching practices, and robust evaluation of student readiness and mindset. The grant specifically targets students entering their senior year of high school or rising college freshmen who have been identified as not yet ready for college gateway mathematics.
