MAA Tensor Grant Program

The MAA Tensor Grant Program, supported by the Tensor Foundation, aims to enrich mathematics education for underrepresented students. It encourages women and pre-college girls to pursue mathematics while also supporting historically underrepresented groups, including Black, Hispanic, and Native American students. Each project can receive up to $8,000 in funding, with a focus on clear plans to achieve the program's goals. This initiative fosters a diverse mathematics community and enhances student engagement.

Funded by the Tensor Foundation, the MAA Tensor Grant Program supports projects that provide mathematics enrichment for students designed to achieve one or both of the following:
Encourage college or university women and pre-college girls to study and persist in mathematics.Support pursuit and enjoyment of mathematics by students who are members of groups historically underrepresented in the mathematical sciences. These include students who are Black or African American; American Indian or Alaska Native; Hispanic or Latino; or, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander. If your project is designed to support a group not listed here, please consult with us before submitting your proposal.
Participation in funded project activities can be available to any student group, as long as projects have a clear plan for meeting the MAA Tensor Grant Program goals stated above.
