Scholarships

There are scholarships for college but also grants for summer math programs and special projects. I will start compiling a list here of different scholarship and grant opportunities.

College Scholarships

Mu Alpha Theta Scholarships: Mu Alpha Theta and our Educational Foundation will continue to award a number of scholarships this year. Scholarship funds may be used within the first 18 months after the date the scholarship is awarded. Any graduating high school senior or two-year college student who is an active member of a current Mu Alpha Theta chapter is eligible. The nominee should be an outstanding mathematics student and should have shown loyalty and dedication to their Mu Alpha Theta chapter, enthusiastically participating in local projects with evidence of service in the area of mathematics. Each chapter may submit applications for up to two members. It is up to the chapter sponsor to determine what names to submit, if more than two students wish to apply.

National College Match program: Questbridge matches high-achieving low-income high school seniors with a full four-year scholarship to one of its 35 top-tier colleges. Applications are due in late September 2014.

Siemens Competition: Math:Science:Technology - This is a research project competition usually done in partnership with local universities. Online registration begins in early May with projects due in September. This is a very time intensive competition but top winners scholarships as high as $100,000. Please contact Mu Alpha Theta if you are interested in participating.
