Description
The AMS Centennial Fellowship is awarded annually by the American Mathematical Society to recognize and support an exceptional mathematician in the early to mid stages of their career. The fellowship provides $75,000 for one academic year, intended to support the recipient's research by funding course release, research-related travel, and other research expenses. The award is paid directly to the recipient's U.S. institution, and AMS membership is included for the duration of the fellowship. The program is designed to make a significant impact on the recipient’s research trajectory and to foster excellence in mathematical research across all areas, including interdisciplinary work. Only one fellowship is awarded each year.
