Applied Math Mentored Research and Internship Experiences

Applied math research training and internships are valuable to prepare students for STEM careers and graduate programs. STEM majors who have declared a minor in applied math will be eligible to apply for research/internship scholarships. There are five mentored research or internship opportunities per academic year.

Criteria

STEM major
Rising junior level or higher
Declared applied math minor
Minimum GPA of 3.0

The application review committee will select highly qualified and motivated students based on short essay, resume, GPA and letter of recommendation. Awards are made each fall to provide two semesters (fall/spring) of AY research training and one summer internship/research training experience. The awards are limited to 12-month duration, to open up the opportunity to other students the next year.

Application

After students are selected for this opportunity, they will be paired with an appropriate mentor(s). Co-mentoring by faculty from both math and other STEM departments will be encouraged. The research training will emphasize on applied math projects.

Students will receive $5,400 for stipend per award and $1,025 for conference travel.
