Million Dollar Scholarship Fund Established to Encourage Minority Students to Pursue Careers in Teaching Math and Science

The Siemens
Foundation will fund the scholarships as part of its mission to support and
enhance math and science education in America's high schools.
"If American technology companies are to continue creating cutting edge
innovations and high paying jobs, we need to be sure that all American high
school students develop the necessary math and science skills they will
require to take advantage of these opportunities," said Thomas N."
"Siemens ' grant is critically important because it can help to address one
of the most pressing needs facing our nation's children and that is the need
for more teachers in math, science and engineering," said Dwayne Ashley, CEO
and President, Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund. This makes this grant unique for two reasons: There is a need
for more qualified minority math and science teachers, and HBCUs have long
been the training ground for new leaders in education as well as
mathematicians, scientists and engineers. "The Siemens
Teacher Scholarships will allow more minority students to pursue careers in
math and science, which will ultimately increase the nation's success in
producing more qualified math and science teachers. (Nasdaq: RELV), an international manufacturer and network marketer of

23 Idaho and Utah teachers will glean real world science and math
curriculum content for their classrooms

On Saturday, March 5, 2005, teachers from across the Treasure
Valley, around the state and as far away as Utah will gather for the

their students using the activities in which they have participated,"
Baker said.

Since 1995, through Micron's Boise-based K-12
program, the lives of more than 160,000 students, parents , teachers
and others involved in education have been touched.
"Micron is providing avenues for students to prepare for and

of the best ways to start the preparation is by investing in our
Chemistry, Math, Physics and Physical Science teachers."
From 9 to 10:30 a. on Saturday, the physical science teachers
will participate in "All Wet," a water purification and deionization
learning activity, beginning at the river and concluding inside
Micron's plant.
