The Mathematics and Science Teaching Initiative (MSTI) 

At present, one of the main activities of the MSTI program is to provide direct support for Humboldt students and alumni who are teachers to pursue obtaining subject matter authorizations, supplemental authorizations, or credentials in Mathematics and Science (Including Computer Science).  The following support programs are available:

MSTI graduate support package ($1,000)
For graduating senior undergraduate students who are seeking subject matter competence (either via exam or coursework) to earn a foundational or full credential in a STEM discipline:  This includes CSET and other exam fees, registration fees for required courses to enter the credential program, and application fees.
 
MSTI credential candidate scholarships ($1,000)
For credential candidates enrolled in either the Science Methods or Math Methods course who have already met the subject matter competence, this scholarship supplements the $2,500 per credential candidate scholarships received through TRP.   

MSTI In-service teacher support package ($500-$1,000)

For employed K-12 teachers in Cal Poly Humboldt Universities Service Region to support earning a Subject Matter Authorization or Supplementary Authorization in mathematics or science, Supplementary Authorization in Computer Science, or an added credential in mathematics or science.
