[neact] Fwd: STEM Ed Announcement: Amgen Grant for K-12 Science Educators


 Dear Science Education Advocate,

 My name is Jessica Halloran and I work for the Amgen Foundation.  As
 you may know, Amgen has a program that recognizes leadership and
 innovation in science teaching for K-12 instructors. Winners of our
 program receive a $5,000 unrestricted award and their schools
 receive a $5,000 grant to further science-related education. It's a
 small way to thank science educators for furthering science in the
 classroom.

 Amgen is expanding its program this year, and will honor a total of
 34 teachers in California, Colorado, Kentucky,Massachusetts, Puerto
 Rico, Rhode Island, Washington and Canada (Alberta, British
 Columbia, Ontario and Quebec).  More information and a new
 streamlined web-based application is available on the Amgen website
at:http://www.amgen.com/citizenship/aaste.html

 Although we have received excellent nominations from educators in
 the past, I don't believe this program is well known. I would
 appreciate your help again this year in getting the word out to
 science teachers who may be interested in applying.

 The deadline for nominations is February 2, 2009.

 To be eligible, nominees must:
 *       Be full-time, K-12 classroom teachers whose major
 responsibilities include teaching science
 *       Have at least three years of experience teaching science in
 grades K-12
 *       Work in communities where Amgen has key operating sites:
 California, Colorado, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
 Washington, Puerto Rico and Canada (Alberta, British Columbia,
 Ontario and Quebec)

 Best,
