To recognize outstanding performance by students in lower division mathematics at a two year college in preparation to transfer as a mathematics major, the Humboldt State University Mathematics Department has established an annual scholarship of $400 per student specifically for one or two students transferring to Humboldt State University with the intention to major in mathematics. The scholarship is made from an endowment to the University by the late Professor Emeritus Harry S. Kieval. The award(s) of the scholarship will be made by May 7, 2009, for Fall 2009.
The scholarship award(s) will be made to students for outstanding performance in college level courses at a two year college in preparation for a mathematics major. When possible, this preparation should include calculus (3 semesters/4 quarters) and linear algebra or differential equations.
To apply, complete a Common Application and submit 1 or 2 letters of recommendation from mathematics instructors commenting directly on what they believe distinguishes the student as a potential mathematics major.
Completed applications must be received by April 17, 2009.
