Bucknell Mathematics Scholars Program

The Bucknell Mathematics Scholars Program recognizes applicants with strong potential to excel as students of mathematics. A very limited number of awards are granted in order to establish a core group of students that will help us to continue to build a culture of creative learning, problem solving and student research in mathematics at Bucknell.
