Got the news on May 25 from Rick regarding the unofficial news from Norway. Now to start the planning. Congrats to all those who heard, and wishing the best for all those still waiting.

Did you get notified via email? Isn't the deadline by the end of May, so hopefully we should all hear this week. I was planning a June 1st departure, but that seems unlikely. I wish they would warn people not to plan for departure until at least July....Impatiently waiting....

Glad to hear that they are rolling out the announcements for Japan, still waiting to hear about Norway. Its going to be a scramble since my purposed start date was June 1. Has anyone heard anything else?

Would anyone be willing to share their NSF GROW application? I am going to be applying to Norway this coming year in the STEM Education division and wondering how to draft some of the pieces. Any help would be appreciated.

I am curious if anyone has any information/recommendations for a Ph.D. program in Math Education. I am a currently pursuing my masters in Mathematics and will be applying for a doctoral program in Math Ed. I am having a hard time determining which schools to apply since the field is rather new and limited information is available. Currently I am looking at schools in California, Florida and Hawaii, but open to other locations. Any information you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks pumpkinspiced! Your information was very helpful. The master program would allow for community college teaching in two years. I am not sure which one I would prefer, community versus a four year. I also have reservations since I have been out of academia for 5 years in the business world, my math skills are probably a little rusty, not to mention what my non-existant stat schools would look like I appreciate getting your input!

From what i have read, If you accept a offer with funding you are obligated to that program. "However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15 commits the student not to accept another offer without first obtaining a written release from the institution to which a commitment has been made."

Hey Caffeinated, Thanks for the information. My only concern is that my background is in Mathematics and not Statistics.

I will try to make this brief, looking for any insight you may have. I currently live and work in Minnesota and trying to decide if I should leave the state for somewhere else and experience an adventure or decide on a program that is more suited to my background but with less funding. Irvine -Statistics Ph.D. with funding -Adventure and location (warm state without Minnesota winters), I know this is silly factor, but after living 25 years in Minnesota you would think the same. -A doctoral program is a benefit, since I want to get my Ph.D. eventually. - My background is in Math, not Statistics, So I would need to ramp up on the subject, but I think I would like it. Minnesota Masters in Mathematics w/ Emphasis in Education with partial funding My background is in Math and I want to teach (college eventually), so the program more closely aligns, but its half funded. Don't have to move or sell my house or uproot. I welcome any insight on the schools, or whatever to help me make a decision.
