Application Deadline: Intel Schools of Distinction
Every year, Intel honors U.S.
schools demonstrating excellence in math and science education through
innovative teaching and learning environments. To be considered as an Intel
School of Distinction, schools must develop an environment and curricula that
meet or exceed benchmarks put forth by national mathematics and science content
standards. Up to three schools at each level—elementary, middle, and high
school—will be named as finalists in the math and science categories. These 18
schools will receive a cash grant of USD 5,000 from the Intel Foundation and a
trip to Washington, D.C., for a four-member team from their school and
district. Six winners will be selected from the finalists and receive a USD
10,000 cash grant. One of these winners will be selected as the "Star
Innovator" and will receive a USD 25,000 grant. All five winning schools
and the Star Innovator will also receive products and services from program
sponsors. Additional information can be found on the website.
