Description
The American Mathematical Society’s Young Scholars Program supports summer programs that give mathematically talented high school students opportunities to pursue new mathematical inquiries beyond their standard classrooms. Supported through the Epsilon Fund, the program aims to build students’ curiosity and confidence through immersive mathematical experiences.
Programs may cover any area of pure or applied mathematics, with a narrow or broad scope, and may emphasize problem solving, mathematical research, or both. Programs targeting a particular high school year, mathematically talented women, or racial minorities are welcome. AMS particularly encourages programs that attract members of underrepresented groups and incorporate undergraduate or graduate students alongside mathematicians in teaching.
