Morris & Miriam Marden Undergraduate Award in Mathematics

The Morris and Miriam Marden Undergraduate Award in Mathematics is given to one or more outstanding majors in the Department of Mathematical Sciences: math, data science, actuarial science, & applied math and computer science. Priority in the selection process will be given to students who submit an outstanding paper on a mathematical topic. Both quality of exposition and mathematical content will be evaluated.

The paper need not be written specifically for the Marden Award; papers originally written for coursework, independent study, or other reasons are acceptable. Majors who choose to not submit a paper may also be considered based on their academic record at the discretion of the faculty review committee if they complete the College of Letters & Science scholarship application by the deadline of February 1 each year.

Applications reviewed in spring are for the following fall semester. e.g. applications reviewed in spring 2025 are for payment in the fall 2025; students graduating in May or August 2025 are not eligible. Second degree students are also not eligible.
