Description
The AMS Young Scholars Program provides funding to U.S.-based summer mathematics programs that engage high school students with strong mathematical talent. The initiative aims to foster mathematical inquiry and community among youth through immersive, multi-week experiences led by mathematicians. Programs may focus on any area of mathematics—pure or applied—and are encouraged to involve undergraduate or graduate students as instructors. There is a particular emphasis on attracting participants from underrepresented groups and supporting programs with a proven operational track record.
