Excellence in Science

Through the generosity of the Cockrell Foundation, The Houston Museum of Natural Science is proud to offer the Evelyn Frensley Scholarship for Outstanding Achievement in Science or Mathematics.

Two awards of $1,500 will go to two high school juniors in Harris County. Of special interest to the Museum review committee is a description of plans for college and future career and a description of projects or activities that demonstrate ability and interest in science or mathematics. To nominate a student, please fill out the 2008 Student Scholarship Form. (please note: only one student nomination per school)

In recognition of the fine educators of Houston we also offer the Wilhelmina C. Robertson Excellence in Science or Mathematics Teaching Award. This award of $1,500 will go to one K-5th grade science or math teacher, and one 6th-12th grade science or math teacher who demonstrates significant ability and dedication to teaching in either discipline in Harris County.  You may nominate an outstanding teacher by filling out the 2008 Teaching Award Form.

The scholarships and awards will be presented at a special Excellence in Science or Mathematics Luncheon in the fall of 2008.

The deadline for all nominations is May 26, 2008.

For any questions or concerns please contact the HMNS Education Department on 713.639.4651 or email sstevenson@hmns.org.
