E. Paul & Jane Humke International Mathematics Scholarship
The E. Paul and Jane Humke International Mathematics Scholarship is given to an undergraduate student for participation in the 2025 summer or 2025 fall study abroad program in mathematics in Budapest, Hungary. More information about the study abroad semester can be found at: https://budapestsemesters.com/summer-program/ for summer or https://www.budapestsemesters.com/apply-2/ for the fall program.
The scholarship provides up to $7,000 towards the costs of the program. For the summer program this would cover most of the tuition cost. The student would be responsible for all remaining expenses. The program is eligible for financial aid as well and students should explore funding options involving other financial aid with the study abroad office. For the fall program, the scholarship would only cover about a third of the tuition. This is an accredited program and is eligible for regular financial aid.
Eligible students will be math, applied math, or actuarial science majors with at least sophomore standing and a strong record of academic success. Students should have completed one semester of real analysis or abstract algebra prior to going abroad in order to successfully complete the coursework in Budapest. The student offered the scholarship must still apply and be accepted to the Budapest program in order to receive the scholarship. Their deadline to apply to the program for Summer 2025 is also March 1; the deadline to apply to the program for Fall 2025 is April 1. Questions about the scholarship can be directed to Prof. Gabriella Pinter (gapinter@uwm.edu).
