AMS Offers Undergraduate Travel Grants for JMM 2020 Presenters
The AMS, with support from a private gift, will accept applications for partial support of travel by U.S. undergraduate students to participate in the Undergraduate Student Poster Session or the AMS-MAA-SIAM Special Session on Research in Mathematics by Undergraduates and Students in Post-Baccalaureate Programs at the Joint Mathematics Meetings, January 15 - 18, 2020, in Denver, Colorado. Applications for partial travel support received by October 21, 2019 will receive full consideration; applications after that date may be supported if funds remain. Up to $400 per person in reimbursement will be offered to selected undergraduates. Notifications of awards, contingent on participation in one of the two eligible sessions and completion of travel forms onsite in Denver, will be made as soon as possible after the acceptances to the poster session are made. See the AMS Undergraduate Travel Grants web page for the application and instructions.

The fifteenth MAKO Undergraduate Math Research Conference will be held on Saturday, November 9, 2019. MAKO stands for Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma; but undergraduates from Nebraska and other states are invited to attend and/or to present short talks on their research. Papers may be original research by student(s) or expositions of interesting but not widely known results. Students will have the opportunity to have their work published in the online proceedings of the conference.
