AMS Epsilon Fund Grants for Young Scholars Programs
About the Grants
-
The AMS Epsilon Fund awards grants of up to US$15,000 in support of summer mathematics programs for mathematically talented high school students.
-
Support will be offered to existing programs that are most successful in nourishing mathematically talented youth.
-
Programs should have been in existence for at least one year, and preferably more.
-
Successful programs tend to have the following characteristics: run over a period of multiple weeks in the summer, bring in at least 20 high school students with mathematical talent, and generally are directed by mathematicians.
-
Programs can focus on problem solving or mathematical research in any area of mathematics.
-
Funding is for one year and it is expected that half of the funds will be used for student scholarships and half for program expenses.
-
Award announcements are made in late February. Approximately 5 - 7 awards are made per year. See the list of current and previous years' Epsilon Fund grants.
