Undergraduate Scholarships
There are a variety of department- and university-wide scholarships available for mathematics undergraduate students.
Robert Noyce Scholarship Program
The Robert Noyce Scholarship Program, funded by the National Science Foundation, encourages talented students in STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and math) to become K-12 science and math teachers. On this campus Noyce Scholarships provide funds for undergraduate math majors with a secondary education minor and post-baccalaureate students holding a STEM degree to earn a teaching credential in return for a commitment to teach mathematics in a high-need school district. Noyce Scholarships require two years of teaching for each year of financial support.
Elizabeth R. Bennett Scholarship in Mathematics
The Elizabeth R. Bennett Scholarship in Mathematics is awarded to undergraduate mathematics students. These scholarships are given based on a student's GPA and strength of courses. Bennett scholarships can be awarded to incoming students as well as senior-to-be or junior-to-be students. The fund was established in 1974, a bequest by Elizabeth R. Bennett who received her Master's Degree in Mathematics in 1908 and her Ph.D. in 1910 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
