AMS Fellowships & Scholarships
Looking to expand your skills or support research? The AMS administers or supports several fellowship programs. The AMS also tracks Other Sources of Support.
- AMS-AAAS Mass Media Fellowships
- In affiliation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the AMS sponsors ten-week fellowships for graduate students in mathematics to work full time over the summer as reporters, researchers, and production assistants in U.S. mass media organizations, such as radio and TV stations, newspapers, and magazines.
- AMS Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering (CASE) Fellowship
- The AMS sponsors graduate students to participate in this fellowship each year. The CASE workshop is organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and introduces STEM students to the federal policy-making process, and empowers them to become advocates for basic research throughout their careers.
- AMS Congressional Fellowships
- The fellows will spend the year working on the staff of a member of Congress or a congressional committee as a special legislative assistant in policy areas requiring scientific and technical input. The program includes an orientation on congressional and executive branch operations and a year-long seminar series on issues involving science, technology, and public policy.
- Stefan Bergman Fellowship
- The Stefan Bergman Fellowship is an early-career research fellowship for mathematicians who specialize in the areas of real analysis, complex analysis, or partial differential equations. The Stefan Bergman Fellowship was established in 2023 with the proceeds of the Stefan Bergman Trust.
- Joan and Joseph Birman Fellowship for the Advancement of Women Scholars
- The Joan and Joseph Birman Fellowship for the Advancement of Women Scholars is a midcareer research fellowship with the goal of advancing the participation and success of women in mathematics. Established in 2017, this program is made possible by a generous gift from Joan and Joseph Birman.
- AMS Centennial Fellowship
- The AMS Centennial Research Fellowship program makes awards annually to outstanding mathematicians to help further their careers in research. A recipient of the fellowship shall have held their doctoral degree for at least three years and not more than twelve years at the inception of the award. Applications will be accepted from mathematicians currently holding a tenured, tenure-track, postdoctoral, or comparable (at the discretion of the selection committee) position at an institution in North America.
- Claytor-Gilmer Fellowship
- The Claytor-Gilmer Fellowship is given annually to further excellence in mathematics research and to advance the participation and success of Black mathematicians in the research community. The AMS established this fellowship in 2021.
