summer opportunities for current seniors?

Hi everyone,

Obviously we all know about the REU programs for undergrads. But lots of these programs don't admit seniors or recent graduates (i.e. the target community for a site like this).

Does anybody know about any math programs that are open to recent graduates and second-semester seniors? If so post them here!

I know 4 summer school programs that accept math students between their senior year in college and first year in grad school: the PCMI Summer School, the Princeton Program for Women in Math, EDGE and Nebraska Immerse. All four are fully funded, 3 of them pay a stipend for participation.

If you can afford it, I would highly recommend that you do one of the following:
- finish up undergraduate research (if it's expected to lead to a publication)
- start working with a professor at your graduate institution
- study for prelim or qualifying exams (it's so not fun to do algebra problem sets while your fellow first-year grad students are organizing fun reading groups and travel to cool conferences)

@ackirby:

I googled "Texas A&M MTCP" and all I got was "Modulus Temperature Correction Program". Is this what you are talking about?

Thanks.

edit: Nevermind, I went to Texas website and it is "MCTP", not "MTCP"

Thanks for letting me know about it though!
