Benefits

A student becomes a Math Alliance Scholar by being nominated by a Math Alliance Mentor.  (Students can search for a mentor on our Mentor Search Page.) Predoctoral Scholars are those who are nominated prior to enrollment in a doctoral program. Predoctoral Scholars can be considered for participation in Math Alliance programs, such as F-GAP, the Field of Dreams Conference, and the Career Paths Workshop. 

If a student becomes an F-GAP Scholar, then they are paired with a Math Alliance Doctoral Mentor (their Faculty Facilitator).  In that case we consider the Predoctoral Mentor, the Faculty Facilitator and the Scholar to be a Mentoring Team.  Beyond their Mentoring Team, the Math Alliance provides a community, including students with similar interests, and faculty with a broad range of backgrounds, and this community is dedicated to supporting the Scholar’s success.
