Our Giving Day Priority
This Giving Day, in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, we're highlighting the Math Scholarship Fund as our Giving Day priority. This scholarship supports outstanding undergraduate students who show potential for a promising career in math sciences or education.
When you give to the Mathematics and Statistics Department, you invest in critical thinking, innovation, and the power of data to shape our world. Your support expands opportunities through the Undergraduate and Graduate Research Lab, and provides students and faculty with vital resources to attend conferences and present their work—gaining valuable, real-world experience. It also sustains the day-to-day excellence of the department. Through your generosity, students engage in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences—from analyzing complex data sets to solving real-world problems—preparing them to become the next generation of analysts, researchers, and problem-solvers.
