Alice T. Schafer Mathematics Prize

Description

The Alice T. Schafer Mathematics Prize will be awarded for excellence in Mathematics. The objective of the Schafer Prize is to "recognize talented women with an eye to the highly diverse opportunities immediately available to undergraduates in a wide variety of institutions." Any person can nominate an undergraduate student for the award. People of any gender can be a nominator, self-nominations are allowed, and you do not need to be an AWM member to nominate someone for this award. If this is a self-nomination, then one additional letter of support is required. The nominee must be an undergraduate as of the date the nomination is due. Nominations of women from underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged. A nomination packet should be compiled into a PDF file for submission and include: one letter of nomination highlighting the exceptional qualities of the candidate to be recognized; a copy of the student's transcripts that indicates their expected graduation date; additional supporting materials, if applicable; and the name, position, institution, address, phone, and e-mail address of the nominee and the nominator that should be included in the cover sheet. Please visit the award's website or contact the Association for Women in Mathematics for more information.
