Thank you for your interest in applying for the PILOTS scholarship for the 2021-2022 academic year. The goal of PILOTS in Math is

(a) to accommodate future teachers of mathematics, particularly underrepresented students in mathematics, in gaining valuable professional skills on online teaching, technologies, and social justice math activities, and

(b) contribute to our math education pipeline through early advisement and early major experiences.

Selected participants will be advised and trained to be competitive for teaching mathematics to everyone as a tool for making sense of and improving injustices in the CSUF community - undergraduates, job-seeking credential candidates, and K-12 students alike.

If you have any questions while completing this application, please email Dr. Bridget Druken at bdruken@fullerton.edu with the Subject labeled "PILOTS".
