Awardees for the Presidential Award of Excellence in Math and Science Teaching complete a rigorous application process that requires them to demonstrate their excellence in content knowledge and ability to adapt to a broad range of learners and teaching environments. A panel of distinguished mathematicians, scientists, and educators at the state and national levels assess the applications before recommending nominees to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Recipients of the award receive a paid trip to Washington, D.C. to attend a series of recognition and professional development events, in addition to a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation.
