Rawlings Grants for Mathematics provide between $800 and $3,000 in support of students conducting math research during the summer (this is usually but not always pre-thesis research).
Application Deadline: accepted any time between April 9th - May 7th. Proposals will be reviewed as they are received.
Contact the Chair of the Mathematics Department, Bonnie Shulman, about these grants.
Financial Responsibility
If for any reason the recipient of the grant is unable to fulfill their project obligations as stated in their proposal, the student will be responsible to repay back the grant money awarded. If the College has purchased airline tickets that the student does not use, the student is responsible to repay to the College for the price of the ticket. If the project has been started, then the amount of payment back will be determined by Kerry O'Brien in the Dean of the Faculty's Office.
More Important Information
- All summer funding is contingent upon a student maintaining a GPA of at least 2.5.
- You can not use research grant funding to participate in a credit-earning summer academic program or receive academic credit for summer research.
- This is a research project that involves a full-time (up to 40 hours per week) commitment for from two to ten weeks; therefore you cannot earn additional funds at the College.
- Rawlings Grants for Mathematics recipients are expected to submit an abstract and a brief (two pages) progress report on their work to the Dean of the Faculty's Office within two weeks of finishing their project and to present their research during the Parents Weekend Poster Session unless they are studying off campus in the fall.
