In the mathematical sciences, awards, fellowships, grants, and scholarships are presented to undergraduate students in recognition of their academic achievement. These prizes benefit recipients by indicating their potential on graduate school applications and financially supporting their ongoing and future endeavors. They are given on multiple scales, ranging from within the UVa Department of Mathematics to the national level and beyond. While there are many awards, fellowships, and scholarships available for undergraduate students in general, this webpage only describes those directly or adjacently related to mathematical careers. Nomination and application are the typical ways one competes for these awards; you should carefully read over any official information and understand whether you are eligible, and how to proceed through proper channels. Be sure to consult your peers for advice.
The following organizations, institutions, and foundations offer prizes to undergraduate mathematics students on an annual basis:
For some of these, students must apply through their home institution (clear here for the UVa page).
