Scholarships–Creating Opportunities for Applying Mathematics (S-COAM)

The Scholarships-Creating Opportunities for Applying Mathematics (S-COAM) project at IUP, while increasing the overall number of students pursuing degrees in mathematics, is unique in its goal of establishing a supportive connection of master’s students with undergraduates through scholarship cohort activities.

Each year, need-based scholarship funds support five or six new graduate students from the M.S. in Applied Mathematics program and seven to ten new sophomore, junior, or senior undergraduate students seeking a major or minor in a mathematical area.

Applications for the S-COAM Scholarship are now being accepted.
