Mu Alpha Theta Educational Foundation Inc

Support the national high school & two-year college mathematics honor societys mission - the mu alpha theta educational foundation helped to further the goals of mu alpha theta by funding grants, awards, and scholarships to its members, sponsors (teachers), and chapters. These grants, awards, and scholarships relieved some of the financial burden of attending college for members, helped new teachers purchase math supplies for their classrooms so they could confer the enjoyment of mathematics on their students, and funded recognition awards to superior sponsors and their schools. Additionally, the foundation's funds were used to purchase honor cords, stoles, and tassels that in turn generate income for the foundation and support its administrative costs. Supplies that were donated to the foundation were provided to mu alpha theta chapters and members.
