Need to renew your Student Chapter for this year?

Each academic year we ask that you renew your Student Chapter Institutional Membership. This will cost your department $100, but it will help make sure your chapter remains connected to  and engaged with the rest of the Student Chapter network and keep you informed about the opportunities and activities offered by AWM.

To renew, ask your department’s AWM Account Manager to pay for the Student Chapter Membership Add-on. More information can be found in the flowchart.

Student Chapter Innovation Grants

The Association for Women in Mathematics has over a hundred student chapters that organize meetings, activities, lectures, or conferences for their respective members. To further strengthen and support the work done by our student chapters, the AWM Executive Committee has established its Student Chapter Innovation Grants. Active Student Chapters are eligible to apply for grants of up to $2,500. These funds are intended to provide some support to Student Chapters in their efforts to enhance the mathematical communities at their institutions. Some examples of such engagement include hosting Sofya Kovalevskaya Days on their campus, inviting inspirational speakers, creating a mini-symposium, or hosting impactful professional development workshops that will benefit their members mathematically, academically, and professionally.
