The AMS and the MAA will provide approximately 100 reimbursement grants of US\$200 per family to help with the cost of child care for registered participants of JMM. The funds may be used for child care that frees a parent to participate more fully in the 2021 Virtual JMM. Registration for the JMM and membership in the AMS or MAA is required to apply for this program.
To apply, please follow these instructions:
Applications will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis until October 23; deadline extended to November 16.
Final decisions on recipients will be made on or before November 30. All grant funds will provided in the form of a check mailed or dispersed electronically via a funds transfer during the dates of the JMM. Details on this process will be sent to all recipients before the meeting, but please note that each recipient will be required to submit a completed W-9 form prior to the meetings to receive these funds. Please note that all recipients are solely responsible for arranging child care. They may use this grant for child care expenses related to any form of child care. This gives them the freedom to use these funds in the way that is most useful to their families.
