Undergraduate Student Travel Grants
Forecasted
Undergraduate Student Travel Grants support undergraduate mathematics students’ travel to the Joint Mathematics Meetings to present research and connect with the broader mathematical community.
Funder: American Mathematical Society
Due Dates (Anticipated): September 2027 (Abstract submission) | October 2027 (Application)
Funding Amounts: Limited travel awards; JMM 2026 awards were anticipated at up to $1,000 per student
Summary: Supports undergraduate mathematics students traveling to the Joint Mathematics Meetings to present research and connect with the mathematical community.
Key Information: For JMM 2027, only students receiving a direct invitation from AMS are eligible to apply.
Description
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) offers Undergraduate Student Travel Grants to help undergraduate mathematics students attend the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM). The program supports participation in a national mathematics conference, opportunities to present undergraduate research, and connections with the broader mathematical community. It continues the Society’s longstanding support for undergraduate participation in the meeting.
For JMM 2027 in Chicago, Illinois, donor support enables AMS to continue offering a limited number of travel awards after the National Science Foundation grant supporting the program was exhausted. Reduced funding has changed the application process: invitations are directed to students accepted for undergraduate poster presentations or participating in the Math Alliance’s Facilitated Graduate Admissions Program (F-GAP).
