Alayont Fellowship in Mathematics Proposal Deadline
Date and Time
Friday, August 1, 2025
Description
The Alayont Fellowship funds projects in pure or applied mathematics. Its goals are to encourage students to experience the beauty and excitement of mathematical research through the discovery of original results and independent learning outside of the course work and to better prepare interested students for graduate studies in mathematics.
The award is a $2,500 fellowship for approximately 10 hours of work for an academic semester. The fellowship is available for undergraduate students majoring or minoring in mathematics and have not yet completed the requirements for graduation. It is preferred that the student will be enrolled at GVSU as an undergraduate for at least one full semester of study beyond the period of the award. Successful applicants generally have a 3.0 GPA or higher in their major. Please note that this fellowship cannot be awarded to support an independent study (MTH 499), or an Honor Thesis.
All tenured, tenure-track, visiting and affiliate faculty are eligible to mentor Alayont Fellows.
