EACH SUMMER, THE FOUNDATION HOLDS A NATIONAL CONVENTION DURING WHICH MEMBERS SPEND FOUR DAYS COMPETING FOR THE HIGHEST SCORES ON MATH TESTS, PRACTICING THEIR PUBLIC SPEAKING AND TEACHING SKILLS VIA MATH "CHALK TALKS", ATTENDING MATH SPEAKER SESSIONS, NETWORKING WITH OTHER MEMBERS AND MATHEMATICIANS, AND TAKING A FIELD TRIP TO A LOCAL ATTRACTION. |

AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT OF THE NATIONAL CONVENTION IS THAT IT ALLOWS STUDENTS WHO LOVE MATH TO INTERACT WITH LIKE-MINDED PEERS. MANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS AT THE NATIONAL CONVENTION CONTINUE TO STUDY MATHEMATICS IN COLLEGE DUE TO AN ENJOYMENT OF MATH FOSTERED IN PART BY PARTICIPATING IN MU ALPHA THETA COMPETITIONS, INCLUDING THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. |

CONVENTION GRANTS FIVE CHAPTERS OF MU ALPHA THETA WERE AWARDED CONVENTION GRANTS BY THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION IN 2019. THESE GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO SCHOOLS THAT HAD NEVER ATTENDED THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

MANY SCHOOLS ATTENDING THE NATIONAL CONVENTION ON A CONVENTION GRANT WILL RETURN IN FUTURE YEARS WITH MORE STUDENTS DUE TO THEIR ENJOYMENT OF THE CONVENTION AND THE AVAILABILITY OF 1,000 MINI-GRANTS FOR PAST CONVENTION GRANT-WINNING SCHOOLS. AWARDS - THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION GAVE AWARDS TO OUTSTANDING CHAPTERS, SPONSORS, AND STUDENTS. ONE SCHOOL WAS AWARDED 5,000 FOR MATHEMATICS SERVICE TO STUDENTS IN ITS COMMUNITY.
