1. Been-there-done-that Chat:

   • Chat with a trusted math faculty in your school to find out about graduate opportunities in the specific field of your interest in mathematics.

   • Most graduate programs require you submit a copy of your formal transcripts, letters of recommendation, a personal statement, application fees (in many institutions now are waived with an application), and general GRE scores. Here is a rather limited list of schools and their specific requirements.

   • Things to consider when selecting a graduate program.

2. NSF GRFP

   • The purpose of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is to help ensure the quality, vitality, and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States.
