Our Scholars

Math Alliance Predoctoral Scholars are mathematical or statistical sciences students, either undergraduates or students enrolled in a terminal Masters or postbaccalaureate program, who have the ability and desire to earn a doctoral degree in a quantitative science and who come from communities or regions that are underrepresented in these fields. 

 

Scholars are selected by our Math Alliance Mentors using the following criteria:

 The student is a US citizen or permanent resident who has attended a US high school and who comes from an area  or community that is rural or remote or a community that is underrepresented in the mathematical or statistical sciences and who would be unlikely to pursue graduate study in a mathematical or statistical science without benefiting from the Math Alliance.

 

(These criteria conform with the National Science Foundation’s initiative on Broadening Participation.)
