THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Education, STEM Education, Math Education, Summer Learning
Deadline: Jan. 22, 2025
“The AMS Young Scholars Program, supported by the Epsilon Fund, was established to help fund summer mathematics programs in the United States for mathematically talented youth. The program aims to nurture those that are interested in mathematics by aiding summer programs that provide high school students with opportunities to engage with mathematics in a way that builds curiosity and confidence. Funding for the AMS Young Scholars Program is set at a minimum award of $2,500 for mature programs and may be up to $15,000 per grant. Awards of $5,000 may be made to newer programs as seed funding. In all cases, no less than half of each award must be used for scholarships, and the remainder should be used for program expenses. No institutional overhead or indirect costs will be covered with these award funds.
The AMS Young Scholars Program seeks to fund programs that:
- Are run over a period of multiple weeks during the summer (it is expected that most, if not all, of the program will take place during the summer months of May – September)
- Bring in at least 20 high school students with mathematical talent
- Are directed by mathematicians
Within these broad guidelines, many different programs may be considered eligible and are welcome to apply. Programs may focus on any area of mathematics, pure or applied, and be of narrow or broad scope, including programs that may concentrate on problem solving and/or mathematical research. They may also be specifically targeted to one high school year (e.g., 9th graders), or to mathematically talented women or racial minorities. Programs that incorporate undergraduate or graduate students alongside mathematicians in their teaching are particularly encouraged, as well as those that attract members of underrepresented groups.”
Funder: American Mathematical Society (AMS)
Eligibility: Summer mathematics programs that have been in existence for at least one year. “Applications are accepted from program directors only (not from students or parents).”
Amount: Up to $15,000
