The Andree Award, named in honor of Mu Alpha Theta founders Richard and
Josephine Andree, is awarded to a student interested in becoming a mathematics teacher.
The Governing Council of Mu Alpha Theta extended the prize in 2008 so that two awards would
be made, one to a high school senior and one to an undergraduate in college. The student must
either be or have been a member of a Mu Alpha Theta Chapter. Each Andree Award winner receives a
$2500 cash prize.
Each Chapter may submit one high school senior and one college undergraduate nomination per year. The nominee
need not attend the National Convention to be considered. The Sponsor of the Chapter will determine how
the Chapter's nominees are selected. The Application Form*
consists of three parts.
-
Personal information provided by the nominee, including high school/college
activities and an essay titled 'Why I Want to be a Mathematics Teacher'.
-
Exactly three recommendation letters, one from the nominee's Mu Alpha
Theta Chapter Sponsor and the other two by individuals of the nominee's
choice (no relatives, please). These must verify the nominee's interest
in teaching mathematics. Do not submit more than three recommendation letters.
-
Academic records completed by the nominee's principal, counselor, or other
school officer. If the nominee is a current college student, a transcript
of collegiate grades should be submitted in addition to high school records.
All application materials must be postmarked no later than March 1st and mailed to:
