Continuing students must be recommended by a faculty member addressing the student’s interest in mathematics and potential to succeed in a career related to mathematics; and the student must remain a math major for the period of the scholarship.
2. Incoming freshman must have an ACT math score of at least 23 (or SAT 540) and a high school GPA of at least 3.0 (on a 4-point scale).
3. Continuing students must have an overall college grade point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4-point scale), and at least 3.0 GPA in mathematics courses that count in the major (the number of mathematics courses completed will be one consideration).
