What is BAMM?
The BAMM! program provides financial support and mentoring for Master's students who wish to pursue a Ph.D. in the mathematical sciences. BAMM! is a fulfilling, cohort-based program in which participants receive annual scholarships of up to $10,000 for a maximum of two years at any of the three BAMM! sites. The BAMM! program expects to fund students in four cohorts, one for each academic year between AY 2020-21 and 2023-24. At this time we are not be funding new students after June 2023. However, stay tuned...
Key features of BAMM! include, but are not limited to, a supportive community of fellow students and mentors, advanced coursework in the mathematical sciences, research experiences, continual guidance, and opportunities to travel to attend conferences in which students can network and gain experience presenting their results.
The award of a scholarship is contingent on admission to one of the Master's program sites:

Applicants must have a desire to pursue a Ph.D. in the mathematical sciences, including Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Mathematics Education, after getting their Master's at one of the BAMM! sites.
Low-income students with demonstrated financial need and students from underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applications for 2023-24 are now closed. Contact Oscar Vega, Fresno State (ovega@csufresno.edu) for more information about future applications.
