Funded by the Tensor Foundation, the Tensor Women & Mathematics Grants support projects designed to encourage college and university women and pre-college girls to study and persist in mathematics.
Each year, we invite proposals from college/university mathematical sciences, and from secondary mathematics faculty who are partnering with college/university faculty. Interested high school teachers are strongly encouraged to seek out college and university mathematical sciences faculty in the formulation of proposals to benefit high school students.
Deadline: Feb. 12, annually.
Applications will be accepted from college and university mathematics faculty or pre-college mathematics teachers working in conjunction with college and university faculty.
Grants will be up to $6,000 and will be made to the institution of the project director for the one-year project. An institution is expected to supply matching funds or in-kind support as an indication of commitment to the project. These grants will not support any institutional indirect costs or provide fringe benefits. To provide maximum flexibility, unexpended funds may be carried forward. Some grants, after a reapplication, may be renewed for another year, with a maximum of three grants.
