The grants, made under the NSF Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) program, will go to institutions in 24 states from New York to Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico. The multi-year awards were made after reviewing proposals from 157 institutions in 46 states.

Planned as a pilot effort in1999, the program received such a positive response from colleges and universities that NSF allocated more funds than originally planned.
