Mathematical Societies/Associations

There are several professional societies for mathematicians. The two main professional societies are the AMS and the MAA:

• The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, and serves the national and international community through its publications, meetings, advocacy and other programs. AMS list of resources for undergraduate math majors , AMS Headlines and Deadlines for Students

• The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) works to advance the mathematical sciences, especially at the collegiate level, through education, research, professional development, public policy, and public appreciation of mathematics. MAA list of resources for undergraduate math majors

• The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) exists to ensure the strongest interactions between mathematics and other scientific and technological communities.

• The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) encourages women and girls to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and promotes equal opportunity and the equal treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences.

• The American Statistical Association (ASA) is the nation's leading professional association for statistics. Also see their Flyer for Undergraduate Resources.

• The American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) is a professional association whose mission is to serve the public and the U.S. actuarial profession. Academy members include consultants, corporate executives and staff, regulators, government officials, academicians, and retired actuaries. Their areas of practice cover pensions, life insurance, casualty insurance, health insurance, financial reporting, risk management, and more.

Additional Professional Associations

Scholarships and Fellowships

Here are a number of scholarships and fellowships that UH Math Majors can apply for, either to assist with paying for college or for graduate school.

• Scholarships administered by the Math Department.
• The Barry Goldwater Scholarship (with application information) is a scholarship that college students can apply for during their sophomore or juniors years. It provides financial support for your following year of undergraduate education (either junior or senior year). The Barry Goldwater Scholarship is a nationally renowned award and considered highly prestigious.
• Harry S. Truman Scholarship. The Truman Scholarship awards up to $30,000 scholarships to students who wish to attend graduate school in preparation for careers in public service. The Truman Foundation defines public service as employment in government at any level, uniformed services, public-interest organizations, nongovernmental research or educational organizations, public and private schools, and public service oriented nonprofit organizations. Applicants must be full-time juniors intending to graduate in the following academic year and be U.S. citizens or naturals. Applicants should have a strong academic and leadership record and have public service related experiences and goals. Candidates must be nominated by their university and may not apply directly. Each university may nominate only four students per year. You can find the UH Faculty Representative for the Truman Scholarship here. (At the time of this writing UH Faculty Representative is Karen Weber and you can contact her for more information or to ask to be nominated.)
• The Actuarial Diversity Scholarship is a scholarship for minority undergraduate students pursuing a degree that may lead to a career in the actuarial profession.
• A List of Scholarships for Prospective Actuaries maintained by the Actuarial Foundation.
• The Gertrude M. Cox Scholarship for women planning to enter statistically oriented professions.
• The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program provides $10,000 for undergraduate or graduate students studying to become math teachers in exchange for teaching at a "high needs" secondary school for two years after graduation.
