Frequently Asked Questions — Application DEADLINE January 28, 2009
What does it mean to receive PCMI funding/financial aid as a Secondary School Teacher?
- Air Travel (max $450) and Airport Shuttle
- Standard Housing (see below)
- Catered meals of breakfast and lunch, Monday-Friday
- A modest Meal Allowance of $250 to defray the costs of dinners and weekend meals
- Secondary School Teacher Program participants receive a stipend of $60 per working day for a total of $900 (US Citizens or US Permanent Residents only, or by special arrangement for Canadian citizens.) Math Supervisors may receive the same $60 per day stipend if they attend PCMI on "personal time."
- If you are qualified to attend PCMI, contact the PCMI office for information regarding registration, lodging and other expenses.
- SSTP participants are welcome to request private housing and bring their families to PCMI for an additional cost. The catered meals served at PCMI are considered "working meals", and thus are for participants only. All standard lodging comes with a fully equipped kitchen for the use of your family. If you will require something larger than standard lodging (a studio unit), an extra fee will be required.
- PCMI is held at the Prospector Square Lodge and Conference Center in Park City, Utah. Standard housing at the Prospector Square is a studio-condo unit with either 2 queen beds, or 1 queen bed and 1 sleeper sofa, or a private bedroom in a multi-bedroom condo (some multi-bedroom condos have shared baths). Catered meals are served for all participants at breakfast and lunch on the weekdays.
- Park City is full of restaurants ranging from fast food to very expensive. Also, there are two grocery stores within walking distance of the Conference Center (or on the free bus route around Park City.) Both grocery stores have extensive take-out sections..
- A free city bus operates throughout Park City and Deer Valley all day and well into the night.
- The Silver Mountain Spa next door to Prospector Square has a drop-in service. Other options may be available -- contact the PCMI office. Children should not be brought to any of the PCMI program sessions.
