About PCMNCG
The Pittsburgh Conference Memorial National College Grants Program, originally established in memory of R. K. Scott, 1955 president of the Pittsburgh Conference, serves as a memorial to deceased members of the Pittsburgh Conference Committee by promoting excellence in science education.  Through the program, small colleges can enhance their science curricula through grants to purchase equipment and course materials.  In 1974, two grants of $1,000 each were given.  In 2011, at least $120,000 will be available for approximately 12 of these awards.
