Details:
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.
