How to Apply to Mathcamp

Mathcamp invites applications from every student aged 13 through 18 who is interested in mathematics, regardless of racial, ethnic, religious, or economic background.

Application materials for our 2012 summer program will be available March 1, and all applications received by the deadline (April 25, 2012) will receive equal consideration. (Late applications will be considered for the waitlist only.)

An application to Canada/USA Mathcamp includes the following:

• Basic personal and contact information.
• Some information about your school and your mathematics background.
• A brief personal statement about why you want to come to Mathcamp.
• Your solutions to the Mathcamp 2012 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.

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.
