    Additional Information

    The WSST Foundation Committee's goal is to improve science education in Wisconsin by providing funds and guidance to the members of WSST. The foundation serves the members of the Wisconsin Society of Science teachers by supporting grants, scholarships and events. The Foundation's funds are separate from WSST and can not be used for operations. The strength of the WSST Foundation comes from generous donations through contributions, memorials and bequeaths.
