The Math Department recently established funds to provide Academic Achievement in Mathematics Scholarships for current Math Majors. These scholarships are to be awarded to students demonstrating academic excellence in Mathematics. They are one year scholarships and the amount is dependent upon available departmental funds. The primary consideration in awarding these scholarships is academic achievement; however, activities and leadership may also be considered. Applications are available online through the College of Science from February 1 - March 31st each spring. The online application can be found at: College of Science Online Application.
