Fellowships and Scholarships

There are numerous fellowships and scholarships available to undergraduate mathematics majors, and Notre Dame students have had particular success in winning these awards (see here for more information). While there is great prestige associated with winning one of these awards, the process of applying is also a very worthwhile one, and is noted with appreciation by graduate admissions committees.

Here are links to more information about some particular fellowships/scholarships.
