NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM): Research Scholars Program in Mathematics

Scholarships for double-majors in Math Education and Mathematics

Mathematics Department Scholarships

The Mathematics Department awards the following scholarships each year, generally in June, to continuing math majors. Usually these scholarships are given to students who do not already have a major scholarship from NC State.

The math department scholarship application is available online. In addition, if you have financial need, it is useful to to have that on record at the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, since need may be considered.

• Hubert V. and Mary Alice Park Scholarship for an outstanding rising junior or senior in mathematics.
• John W. Cell Scholarship for an outstanding rising junior or senior in mathematics.
• Carey Mumford Scholarship for an outstanding sophomore, junior or senior in mathematics.
• Levine Award for the NC State student with the best performance on the William Lowell Putnam Exam. This award is not limited to math majors. The Mathematics Department offers a Putnam Seminar to help students prepare for the exam.
• Charles N. Anderson Scholarship for an outstanding sophomore in mathematics.
• Charles F. Lewis Scholarship for an outstanding senior who is double-majoring in math and math education.
• Mrs. Robert C. Bullock Scholarship for an outstanding math major who has also demonstrated an interest in the English language, typically through coursework.
• Rebecca Bullock Scholarship for an outstanding math major who has also demonstrated an interest in the English language, typically through coursework. (See also the AWM contest.)
• Howard A. Petrea Scholarship for an outstanding rising junior or senior in mathematics.

National Scholarships

There are several very prestigious undergraduate scholarships that math students should consider applying for.  Talk to the people in the Fellowship Advising Office for advice and further information.

• Rhodes
• Gates (the Gates Scholarship is similar to the Rhodes Scholarship but is for Cambridge rather than Oxford. Preference is given to students in science and technology areas. Two NC State math majors have received a Gates Scholarship.)
• Churchill (This program funds one year of study in selected STEM disciplines at Churchill College, University of Cambridge.)
• Goldwater (5 NC State math majors have received Goldwater Scholarships.)
• Fulbright (one NC State math major has received a Fulbright.)
• Wooddy (for students interested in actuarial science.)
• Truman
• Udall
• Madison

Students interested in going to graduate school should consider applying for a graduate fellowship.  Information on the following fellowships is available at the Fellowship Advising Office.

• NSF (11 NC State math majors have won NSF Fellowships and several have been awarded honorable mention.)
• DOD (4 NC State math majors have won DoD Fellowships.)
• IGERT (for students interested in interdisciplinary programs.)
• NPSC (for women and minorities.)
• Gates (for Cambridge University, UK (4 NC State students have won Gates Scholarships and 2 of those were math majors.)
• Others
