The Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education (EDGE) Program, funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is designed to strengthen the ability of women and minority students to successfully complete graduate programs in the mathematical sciences.
The summer program consists of two core courses in analysis and algebra/linear algebra. There will also be minicourses in vital areas of mathematical research in pure and applied mathematics, short-term visitors from academia and industry, guest lectures, graduate student mentors, and problem sessions. In addition, a follow-up mentoring program and support network will be established with the participants' respective graduate programs.
Applicants to the program should be women who are:
| |
- graduating seniors who have applied to graduate programs in the mathematical sciences,
|
| |
- recent recipients of undergraduate degrees who are now entering graduate programs,
|
| |
- or first-year graduate students.
|
All applicants should have completed standard junior-senior level undergraduate courses in analysis and abstract algebra and have a desire to earn a doctorate degree. Women from minority groups who fit one of the above three categories are especially encouraged to apply. Final acceptance to the program is contingent upon acceptance to a graduate program in the mathematical sciences.
The EDGE 2006 Summer Program will be held at New College of Florida in Sarasota, Florida. The dates for the summer program are June 12 - July 7, 2006. It will be co-directed by Sylvia Bozeman (Spelman College) and Rhonda Hughes (Bryn Mawr College), and Local Coordinator Eirini Poimenidou (New College of Florida). A stipend of $2000 plus travel, room and board will be awarded to participants. The application deadline for the program is Wednesday, March 1, 2006. Participants to the program will be announced before April 15th.
Other details about the program, including eligibility and the application process can be found on The EDGE 2006 Summer Program website.
