The National Science Foundation awarded $1 million to the Department of Mathematics to provide scholarships for low-income math majors with academic promise.

Fresno State’s Mentoring Math Scholars for Success (M2S2) program includes rigorous investigation of which learning strategies work best for the target student population.

In the program, students experience an intense, 18-credit pathway focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) courses. The curriculum includes specially designed problem-solving challenges intended to stimulate students’ interest in mathematical research. To strengthen their success in the pre-research environment, students receive mentoring from faculty and high-achieving peers.
