Our friends at National Math Stars have let us know that applications for their free programs opened last week and will be open through June 15th for parents & guardians to apply. School districts nominations will be open through May 15th to allow for shipment of award medals.

National Math Stars focuses on supporting the top 2nd and 3rd grade math students across the country with free acceleration programs. The four main pillars of National Math Stars are continued academic development, community, financial assistance, and advising. These four pillars allow for NMS to push students to the frontiers of math & science, all while developing an amazing & friendship based community of young mathematicians.

If accepted into the National Math Stars programs, over the course of 10 full years, students will receive free advanced coursework, summer camp opportunities, mentoring in the STEM field, and many other tools at no cost to their school, district or family.

NMS recommends that school districts nominate the top 2-3% of both 2nd and 3rd graders at each elementary campus. Once nominations are submitted, you’ll receive a box of award medals & nomination letters to pass out to each student. Districts can reach out to Troy Scott at troy.scott@nationalmathstars.org to get this process started– or fill out this Google Form.

For parents/guardians of 2nd and 3rd graders, you can apply directly here.

National Math Stars is also hosting parent information sessions which can be accessed on this page.

Please take advantage of this free opportunity to have your students be celebrated for their math ability while giving them the chance to be a part of an amazing 10 year math program!
