January 2027 (Full application deadline, projected)

Multiple awards annually; typical award size varies by year and program scope.

Supports U.S. summer programs that immerse talented high school students in mathematics under the direction of mathematicians.

--- ## Description The AMS Young Scholars Program provides funding for summer programs in the United States that engage mathematically talented high school students in intensive, multi-week mathematical experiences. Programs may focus on any area of mathematics—pure or applied—and can range from problem-solving workshops to research-focused initiatives. The grant encourages the involvement of undergraduate or graduate students as instructors and seeks to support programs that reach underrepresented groups in mathematics. The overarching goal is to foster mathematical inquiry and nurture the next generation of mathematicians. --- ## Due Dates - January 2027: Full application deadline (anticipated/projected; annual cycle) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Multiple grants awarded each year. - Award amounts vary depending on the program's scope and needs; funding is not fixed but is typically sufficient to support a substantial portion of program costs. - Programs must reapply each year for continued support. --- ## Eligibility - Programs must have operated for at least one year (preferably more). - Must be based in the United States or its territories. - Must serve at least 20 high school students with mathematical talent. - Programs must run for multiple weeks during the summer (May–September). - Directed by mathematicians. - Programs may target specific groups (e.g., one grade level, women, underrepresented minorities). - Preference for programs involving undergraduate/graduate student instructors and those attracting underrepresented groups. - Applications must be submitted by program directors (not students or parents). - Previous applicants (funded or not) must submit a new application each year. --- ## Application Process - Applications open annually in November and close in January (anticipated). - Only program directors may apply. - Application materials and submission portal are detailed on the [AMS Young Scholars Program page](https://www.ams.org/grants-awards/emp-epsilon). - Award notifications are typically made in March. - Required materials typically include program description, evidence of track record, participant demographics, and budget. --- ## Additional Information - The program is funded by the Epsilon Fund for AMS Young Scholars. - Programs of varying scope (problem-solving, research, focused on specific groups) are welcome. - [Sign up for email updates](https://mailchi.mp/ams.org/young-scholars-program-email-sign-up) to receive news about upcoming grant cycles. --- ## External Links - [AMS Young Scholars Program Information](https://www.ams.org/grants-awards/emp-epsilon) - [AMS Grants & Awards Overview](https://www.ams.org/grants-awards/grants-awards) - [List of Past Grantees](https://www.ams.org/prizes-awards/paview.cgi?parent_id=3) - [Young Scholars Program Email Sign-Up](https://mailchi.mp/ams.org/young-scholars-program-email-sign-up) --- ## Contact Information | Department | Email | Phone | Online Contact Form | |--------------------------------------|--------------------|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Education, Grants and Awards Dept. | ams@ams.org | +1 401-455-4000 | [Contact via AMS online form](https://www.ams.org/cgi-bin/fmail/fmail.cgi?emailto=52616e646f6d495680a727a6ebb5414bd5c8f43b30712ff09a0c4c7fe9ef1d40de35a38bda9179f5&name=Education,%20Grants%20and%20Awards%20Department&subject=Young%20Scholars%20inquiry) |
