How to apply to Mathcamp

Mathcamp 2008 invites applications from every student aged 13 through 18 who is interested in mathematics, regardless of racial, ethnic, religious, or economic background. Applications received by April 30, 2008 will be given equal consideration. Late applications will be accepted until all spots are filled.

An application to Canada/USA Mathcamp includes the following:

  • Basic personal and contact information.
  • A brief personal statement about why you want to come to Mathcamp.
  • A list of math courses that you have taken and math competitions that you have participated in (if any).
  • Your solutions to the Mathcamp 2008 Qualifying Quiz.
  • Two recommendation letters: one academic, one personal.
  • (Optional) A scholarship application, if you require financial assistance to attend Mathcamp.
  • A US$20 application fee, or a note signed by your parent or guardian stating that they cannot afford it.

More details about each item can be found in the application instructions.

The $20 application fee is waived for all applicants who use our online application system. We strongly encourage students with Internet access to apply online. When you do, you may still submit your quiz solutions and/or recommendation letters by regular mail if you wish; the application fee is waived nonetheless.
