AWM Mathematics Education Mentoring Travel Grants
Women mathematicians who wish to collaborate with an educational researcher or to learn about educational research may use the mentoring grants to travel to collaborate with or be mentored by a mathematics education researcher. In order to be considered for one of the mentor travel grants, a mathematics applicant must hold a doctorate in mathematics. A mentor should hold a doctorate in mathematics education or in a related field such as psychology or curriculum and instruction. The applicantŐs research must be in a field which is supported by the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation.
Maria Mitchell Women in Science Award
Since 1998, the Maria Mitchell Association has offered an annual award to recognize an individual, program or organization that encourages the advancement of girls and women in the natural and physical sciences, mathematics, engineering, computer science and technology. An award of $5,000 is given to one individual, program or organization from the U.S. each year. The award was last funded in 2008.
MAA Grants for Tensor-Summa Program
The Tensor Foundation has provided funding for the MAA to award grants for programs designed to encourage the pursuit and enjoyment of mathematics among middle school students, high school students, and/or beginning college students from groups traditionally under-represented in the field of mathematics. College and university mathematical sciences faculty and their departments and institutions may submit proposals. They should collaborate with secondary and middle school mathematics faculty as appropriate depending on the focus of the project. Proposed programs may replicate existing successful programs, adapt components of such programs, or be innovative.
NSF/AWM Travel Grants and Mentoring Travel Grants
The objective of the NSF-AWM Travel Grants Program is to enable women to attend research conferences in their fields, thereby providing a valuable opportunity to advance their research activities and their visibility in the research community. The objective of the NSF-AWM Mentoring Travel Grants is to help junior women to develop a long term working and mentoring relationship with a senior mathematician. This relationship should help the junior mathematician to establish her research program and eventually receive tenure.
NSF Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM)
The PAESMEM Program seeks to identify outstanding mentoring efforts that enhance the participation of groups (i.e., women, minorities, and persons with disabilities) that are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

The Association of Women in Mathematics Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize
The Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the AWM is awarded annually to a woman recently promoted to Associate Professor or an equivalent position in the mathematical sciences. The prize provides a fellowship for the awardee to spend a semester in the Mathematics Department of Cornell University without teaching obligations. Recently promoted associate professors face many challenges as they prepare to take on greater leadership in research and in the profession. The Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize will honor outstanding women at this stage of their careers and enable them to focus on their research in the stimulating environment of the Cornell University Mathematics Department. The recipient may use the fellowship during a semester of her choosing during the current academic year. The award will be US $45,000, with an additional $3,000 housing/subsistence stipend. Acceptance and use of the fellowship cannot be deferred.
