program Description

The Association of Women in Mathematics Fellows Program recognizes members who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the support and advancement of women in the mathematical sciences, consistent with the AWM mission: “to encourage women and girls to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and to promote equal opportunity and the equal treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences.”

The following criteria are required for nominees to be considered for Fellowship.
Nominees must have demonstrated an outstanding, sustained commitment to the support and advancement of girls and women in the mathematical sciences. Nominees should be a member of AWM at the time of their nomination.

In the majority of cases a nominee should be at least fifteen years into her/his career; graduate study counts as part of the career. Nominations will close May 15, 2025, so please participate in this year's selection process by nominating someone who you think deserves this recognition. 

Nomination packages consist of: 

• a nomination letter from the primary nominator of at most two pages, 
• two supporting letters of at most two pages each, of which at least one is from another AWM member, 
• a CV of 3 pages or less, 
• a suggested citation (for use when the award is announced) of 50 words or less.

Note the Criteria for selection: The letters must include information on the candidate’s demonstrated outstanding, sustained and lasting commitment to women and girls in mathematics. The candidate’s research should only be discussed if it is in relation to the selection criteria.

The primary nominator need not be a current member of AWM but he/she should have been one at some point in the past.
