Scholarships

We at MathCEP want our programs to be available to all! To facilitate this, we offer a limited number of scholarships for all of our programs. Their purpose is to provide partial or full support for students who have demonstrated their desire to learn and have genuine financial need. We do our best to work with families who have a financial need, but cannot guarantee the availability of scholarships. Families requesting a scholarship must contact us to discuss their situation and submit documentation before registering.

The amount of the award will be based on several factors, including the requested amount, the evidence supporting this request, and Program funds available. Some allowances may be made based on individual circumstances.

How to apply for a scholarship

Scholarship applications must include the following:

Amount of the request.
What program you are applying for.
Past academic performance of the student, and plans for the current year.
Financial reasons for the request. These should be stated clearly and concisely. Financial documentation must be attached to the letter. A copy of your most recent federal income tax form is required. Special financial circumstances or situations should be noted.
Additional information that might be helpful, such as health concerns, unemployment, etc.

All application material may be either scanned and uploaded to https://z.umn.edu/umtymp-scholarships or mailed to our office. It is recommended that Social Security numbers be blacked out before scanning or mailing. If you are sending the application by mail, the address is:
