Academic scholarships

AoPSWiki includes one of the internet's most comprehensive guides to academic scholarships. Get started by clicking through the links below by subject area.

If you know of scholarships that do not match any of the following categories or are best listed under a category rather than a list, please create a new page for that category and list it here.

As a general guideline for scholarships: if you're paying to apply then it is probably not a legitimate organization of scholarship.

• If your club/organization has a parent organization (such as Kiwanis for Key Club and Boy Scouts), find the national organization's website.
• If your parents and/or grandparents belong to any groups (Elks, Rotary Club, etc.), check out their websites.
• Your parents' employers, especially if they work for a larger corporation.
• Check the newspaper regularly, especially if you have a more local one.
