Interested in Being a Maths or Science Teacher?

Have you always had a passion for maths or science, but love the interaction with children that comes with parenting? A career in teaching may be just what you’re looking for.

Applications for the 2010 intake of the Department’s Maths and Science Graduate Scholarship are now open until October 5.

The scholarship provides talented final year mathematics or science students and graduates with the opportunity to commence teaching careers.

Fifty scholarships will be awarded this year, with recipients provided with $5000 to complete an approved graduate-entry teaching course starting in 2010.

After completing their studies, recipients will also be eligible for additional grants on commencing employment in a Victorian government school, as well as further benefits after two years’ employment.
