Scholarships and Internships
Scholarships
The Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics is fortunate to have several
scholarships that are given annually or endowed by alumni and friends of the department.
These scholarships are coordinated by the Undergraduate Office of the College of Engineering
and Applied Sciences. In addition to scholarships specifically for Applied Math majors,
there are frequently other scholarships from industrial sponsors that Applied Math
majors as well as majors in other CEAS departments may apply for. Click here CEAS scholarships for the current list of all scholarships. The deadline for applying for scholarships
for undergraduates in CEAS departments is in February. The exact date is widely publicized
around the Applied Math department and at the above website. Scholarship winners are
informed in late April; their scholarship will be applied directly to their tuition
bill for the coming academic year.
Here is a list of the scholarships that are designated for Applied Math majors:
APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
This scholarship was endowed by an anonymous friend of the department in honor of
the four Applied Mathematics graduates who worked in the World Trade Center buildings
and lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy. This scholarship, currently worth about
$1800, is awarded annually to an outstanding junior or senior Applied Math major.
ROBERT J. AND KATHRYN B. FREY SCHOLARSHIP
This scholarship is given by Robert Frey, an Applied Math B.S. and Ph.D. graduate,
and his wife Kathryn. One full tuition scholarship at the New York State resident
rate is offered each year to an outstanding Applied Math junior or senior major.
SRIVASTAV, TUCKER & WEITZMAN SCHOLARSHIP
This $500 scholarship is given by Michael Driscoll, an Applied Math Ph.D., to recognize
the contributions of three members of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics:
Ram Srivastav, Alan Tucker, and Esther Weitzman. It is awarded annually to an Applied
Math junior or senior.
THE WEINIG FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP
The Weinig Foundation provides four to five $4,000 scholarships each year to meritorious
junior or senior students in any one of the CEAS undergraduate programs. At least
two recipients will be students majoring in Applied Mathematics and Statistics. To
be considered for a scholarship award, students must have a cumulative grade point
average of at least a 3.3.
Internships
The Undergraduate Office of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences located
in Engineering 127 coordinates most internships for students in one of the CEAS majors.
A large bulletin board in that office displays a range of summer internships each
spring,
The Applied Math Department is contacted directly by a few companies with announcements
of summer and academic internships. They are posted on the bulletin board in the hallway
opposite Math P138, the office of the Applied Math Undergraduate Program Main Office.
Each year in early January, the Actuarial Society of New York (ASNY) organizes a large Actuarial Day event in New York City where insurance companies and actuarial consulting firms have
applications for summer actuarial internship programs. For details, go to ASNY Webpage
