Are you applying to Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs)? Check out our blog post on our advice for putting together an application: https://blogs.ams.org/
If you are having trouble finding REUs, there are several helpful websites to search for REU’s:
Mathprograms.org (often the portal to submit applications)
NSF (official government website
Mathreuprograms.org - has most of the REU programs listed
REU Common Application - apply to a few programs at once
William Y. Velez’s annotated list of research programs - includes Math Ed research, a community college focused program, programs for international students, and MUCH more
Tim Chumley's list of REUs that accept international students (and more!)
Early Stage Programs: Check out the AMS E-Mentoring Network blog post Opportunities for First and Second Year College Students by Dr. Pamela E. Harris
If you are working on your REU applications, check out our REU workshop slides from 2023 (if you are struggling with personal statements, slide 11-13 might be your interests!)

American Statistical Association StatFest Virtual Conference
StatFest is a free, one-day conference aimed at encouraging undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups to consider careers and graduate studies in the statistical sciences. The program is designed to:
expose participants to a broad range of graduate study and career opportunities in statistics and data science;
assist participants in networking and building relationships with others outside their institution; and
connect participants to future opportunities within statistics and data science.
StatFest will meet one Thursday evening per week for three consecutive weeks on September 11, 18, and 25.
Registration is completely free and does not require ASA membership. Register here.

SACNAS National Diversity in STEM Conference (NDiSTEM)
NDiSTEM is the largest multidisciplinary and multicultural STEM conference in the country. The NDiSTEM Conference is a gathering which serves to equip, empower, and energize participants for their academic and professional paths in STEM.
Over the course of the event, college-level through professional attendees are immersed in cutting-edge STEM research, professional development sessions, motivational keynote speakers, and the Academic & Career Expo, as well as multicultural celebrations and traditions, and an inclusive and welcoming community of peers, mentors, and role models.
Check out the registration link here for fees and deadlines.
If you require funding to travel to the conference, check out the funding guide here. These funding tips can also be used for other conferences as well.
Twoples Online Mentorship Program
Twoples is an online mentorship program for undergraduates interested in pursuing a research-based graduate degree in math. Twoples especially aims to provide such mentorship to students from underrepresented groups or non-traditional backgrounds, as well as to students at non-research oriented colleges and universities.
Mentees will be paired with mentors based on mutual interests and you will decide on a topic to work on for the semester. You and your mentor will meet online for an hour each week. Halfway through the semester, you and your mentor will decide on a final project and write up a brief description. The final project is due at the end of the semester.
To apply to be a mentee, click the link here. Applications are due by August 20th.

SUBgroups: Online Peer Groups for First Year Math Graduate Students
SUBgroups are online peer support groups that bring together first-year math graduate students. Participants have regularly-scheduled video chat sessions to support and connect with first-years in mathematics master’s and PhD programs.
To learn more about how the program is organized see the “How It Works” page on their website. Also, visit the FAQ page here.
Check out their article in the European Mathematical Society Magazine about four challenges that first year math graduate students often face and how SUBgroups peer groups work to address them.
Registration is not yet open for the 2025 cohort, but if you are interested in the program you can fill out this form to be notified when registration opens.
