Who Can Apply:
- Students can achieve so much with math skills, not just in the classroom but also in daily life and in their careers.
- Math gives young people the tools they need to help their families, their communities, and the world at large. Many students who aren’t going into mathematics or engineering underestimate the importance of math knowledge in their futures, but there is great value in learning math. Every day, students find that math is too hard and give up, which can close off many career opportunities.
- This scholarship seeks to support students who believe in the message that math is important for everyone to know.
- Any high school senior who has at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they plan to use math in their career, even if indirectly.
Submission: To apply, write a short essay telling us how knowing math helps people. Additionally, please submit a two-minute video telling us a bit about yourself and how knowing or not knowing math has impacted you or others around you. Submit a link to your video as a public YouTube link or a Google Drive link. Settings should be set to “public” or “anyone with the link can view.” If we can’t access your video, your application won’t be considered.
