Funding Your AAPT Experience: A Guide for K–12 Teachers
Attending an AAPT National Meeting is an incredible opportunity for K–12 teachers to connect with peers, explore innovative teaching strategies, and deepen their understanding of physics education. We recognize, however, that funding travel and registration can be a challenge. This Funding Toolkit is designed to help educators identify and secure financial support to attend AAPT National Meetings. Inside, you’ll find tips for applying for district funds, talking with your principal about funding, and templates for letters requesting funding to your administration and local business owners with a stake in STEM education in your community, and suggestions— making it easier for every teacher to access the professional growth and community AAPT offers.
