Description
The Dolciani Mathematics Enrichment Grants, administered by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and funded by the Mary P. Dolciani Halloran Foundation, support creative projects that provide middle and high school students with engaging, hands-on mathematical experiences outside the standard curriculum. The grants aim to foster a deeper appreciation for mathematics, encourage ongoing interest, and prepare students for advanced study. Projects may include math clubs, circles, camps, mentorships, or other sustained activities that introduce students to intriguing mathematical concepts and career pathways not typically encountered in the classroom. Faculty from accredited U.S. or Canadian college/university mathematical sciences departments are invited to apply, ideally in partnership with secondary school teachers.
