Simons Dissertation Fellowship in Mathematics

The Simons Foundation's Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MPS) division invites applications for the Simons Dissertation Fellowship in Mathematics to provide research support to excellent graduate students in the final years of their Ph.D. studies. This program was created to honor the work of the late founder, Jim Simons, and his commitment to supporting the field of mathematics. The fellowship provides two years of funding support commencing in the fourth year of a five-year Ph.D. program, offering $19,200 per year for a total of $38,400 USD. The grant includes $15,000 per year in general research support for the Fellow (including summer stipend, travel, and research expenses), $1,000 per year to the Fellow's department as discretionary funds, and $3,200 per year for indirect costs. Funding is based on the quality of the applicant, significance of their previous research, and promise of their pursued research program.
