AWM Essay Contest
To increase awareness of women’s ongoing contributions to the mathematical sciences, the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and Math for America co-sponsor an essay contest for biographies of contemporary women mathematicians and statisticians in academic, industrial, and government careers. The essays will be based primarily on an interview with a woman currently working in or retired from a mathematical sciences career.
The AWM & Math for America essay contest will open for submissions on December 1. This contest is open to students in Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12, and Undergraduate age groups.
Students would interview a woman in a mathematical career and write a short biographical essay about her and her work. There are no restrictions on who can enter beyond the requirement that you be a student in one of those categories and that submissions must be written in English.
The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2022, and you can find details here: https://awm-math.org/awards/student-essay-contest/.
