NSF present the awards to the mentors
at an awards ceremony.
• Presidential Award for Excellence in
Mathematics and Science Teaching
The Presidential Award for
Excellence in Mathematics and Science
Teaching (PAEMST) is the highest
recognition that a kindergarten through
12th-grade mathematics or science
teacher may receive for outstanding
teaching in the United States. Enacted
by Congress in 1983, this program
authorizes the President to bestow 108
awards, assuming there are qualified
applicants. In even-numbered years,
nominations are accepted for
elementary teachers (grades K–6); in
odd-numbered years, secondary
teachers (grades 7–12) are nominated.
This award is managed at NSF by the
Directorate for Education and Human
Resources (EHR).
Nomination Criteria
A teacher may be nominated by a
principal, another teacher, students,
members of the community, or the
general public. Self-nominations are
allowed. Awardees must be either U.S.
Citizens or U.S. Permanent Residents. A
Nominee must meet the following
criteria to apply:
• Be highly qualified as deemed by
their states, districts, or schools;
• Teach in one of the 50 States, the
District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the
four U.S. territories, including the
Department of Defense Schools
(DoDEA).
• Hold a degree or appropriate
credentials in the category for which
they are applying.
• Be a full-time employee of the
school or school district.
• Have at least 5 years of mathematics
or science teaching (including computer
science) experience prior to application.
• Teach mathematics or science at the
kindergarten through 6th grade level or
at the 7th through 12th grade level in a
public or private school.
• Not have received the national
PAEMST award in any prior
competition or category.
mathematicians, scientists, mathematics
and science educators, and past
awardees that review the application
packets of the state finalists and make
recommendations to NSF. NSF reviews
these recommendations and
recommends one awardee in both
mathematics and science for all eligible
jurisdictions, when possible, to OSTP.
Alternatively, NSF may recommend two
awardees from a discipline in a
jurisdiction, when warranted.
Application Process
• Applicants complete a 12-page
written document on five dimensions of
outstanding teaching (content
knowledge, pedagogy, assessment,
leadership and professional
development) and submit a video of one
class. Three letters of reference
including one from a school official are
required, along with a resume or
biographical sketch.
• The applicant has a 7-month period
(October to May) to complete
applications and submit them for state
review. The nomination period is from
October to April.
Award Ceremony
Review of Nominations
• State coordinators convene state
selection committees of prominent
mathematicians, scientists, mathematics
and science educators, and past
awardees to select up to five
mathematics and five science finalists
for recognition at the state level and for
submission to NSF. To ensure
consistency, state selection committees
review their applications using the same
criteria and scoring information that
was approved by OSTP.
• NSF (EHR) convenes a National
Selection Committee of prominent
The awardees are hosted for 3–4 days
in Washington, DC, for a variety of
professional development sessions and
celebratory activities. Each awardee
receives a citation signed by the
President and $10,000 from NSF. If
scheduling permits, the President meets
the teachers for a photo opportunity at
the White House. The Director of OSTP
and the Director of NSF present the
citations to the teachers at an awards
ceremony. Awardees also have the
opportunity to meet their congressional
representatives and education
representatives from other federal
agencies.
Estimate of Burden: These are annual
award programs with application
deadlines varying according to the
program. Public burden also may vary
according to program; however, across
all the programs, it is estimated that
each submission will average 19 hours
per respondent. If the nominator is
thoroughly familiar with the
disciplinary background of the nominee,
time spent to complete the nomination
may be considerably reduced. See the
table below for the burden estimates for
each award.
