Mathematical Sciences Scholarship Fund
In 1995, the department started soliciting contributions to a scholarship fund. The ultimate purpose of the fund was to provide financial assistance to worthy mathematics majors. Through the generous contributions of Mary and Russ Bedell, and Alice and Arthur Zamanakas, we have begun to offer significant scholarships to our mathematics majors. In addition, several other contributions has made it possible to offer book awards that provide motivation for our increasing base of math majors. Any additional contributions, large or small, would be appreciated. To contribute, you can send a check payable to" Mathematical Sciences Scholarship Fund" to:
