The Carol Meyer Scholarship Awards
The Louisiana
Association of Teachers of Mathematics is pleased to honor the
memory of Carol Meyer, an elementary school mathematics teacher
who died unexpectedly at an early age. Carol loved mathematics and
was a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in
Mathematics and Science Teaching. She was an outstanding math
teacher and a fervent worker on the LATM executive board. She was
always generous in sharing her love of math with her students and
fellow teachers.
In Carol's memory, the Louisiana
Association of Teachers of Mathematics is pleased to award two
$500.00 scholarships each year to college upperclassmen with a
declared major in elementary education, mathematics education, or
mathematics. In addition to the scholarship, the awardees shall
receive complimentary LATM student memberships. It is our hope
that another future outstanding mathematics teacher or
mathematician will be helped along the way by this award.
