Scholarships and Fellowships for Math Grad Students

picture of MS and PhD grads

Each year, the Department of Mathematics selects graduate students for a pair of awards to recognize their academic and research accomplishments: the Lee R. Steeneck & Regina Aultice Steeneck Graduate Fellowship and the C.B. Ling Scholarship. We also recognize Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs).

The university provides additional scholarships and fellowships, and we especially encourage students to apply for student initiated fellowships and scholarships, such as NSF's Graduate Research Fellowship Program. You can find links to more information on these awards, as well as lists of prior award recipients, below.
