A new $623,608 National Science Foundation S-STEM grant to the UT Arlington Mathematics Department will help undergraduates with up to $10,000 in stipends, tuition and fees as they pursue their future in teaching, research or other math-based professions.
Members of the SURGE team and students (from top left, clockwise): Professor Hristo Kojouharov, Associate Professor Ruth Gornet, Associate Professor Barbara Shipman, Professor Jianzhong Su, student Elizabeth Martinez, Professor Tuncay Aktosun and student Omomayowa Olawoyin.
S-STEM stands for Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The recommended funding - which will be spread over four years - is the second S-STEM grant the math department has received. The first, which came in 2008, helped 46 students toward their degrees. A majority of those had come to UT Arlington from community colleges, and some graduates have continued to pursue advanced degrees in STEM areas.
