The EDGE Foundation will cover all travel, room, and board expenses related to the Summer Program. Program participants will also receive a modest stipend. The EDGE Summer Program is a four-week, residential session designed to prepare a cohort of women and gender-nonconforming individuals to thrive in their PhD programs in the mathematical sciences. Program participants attend daily lectures in subjects such as Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, Measure Theory, and Applied Mathematics. EDGE coursework is designed to prepare participants for graduate research and qualification exams, while also providing practical experience in a rigorous academic setting. Participants delve deeper into these subjects through collaborative daily problem sessions with guidance from EDGE mentors, who are current graduate students and often EDGE alumnae. The EDGE Summer Program is rigorous and immersive. Participants are expected to work on their coursework 7 days a week, often outside of regular working hours. The amount and level of work is demanding. EDGE encourages participants to communicate with co-directors so they can achieve the maximum benefit from the program.
