Three Years of Work by The Somerville Mathematics Fund
We were chartered in September 2000 to celebrate and encourage achievement in mathematics in the city of Somerville, Massachusetts. Our affiliation with Dollars for Scholars gives students who receive one of our scholarships a financial aid advantage at over 440 colleges.
All of our contributions are tax deductible (501(c)(3)).
