Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit GRE scores for the General Test and the Subject Test in mathematics. Those who have studied for a least two years in an English-speaking country or who have received an undergraduate degree from such university need not take the Test of English as a Foreign Language. A number of fellowships, as well as teaching and research assistantships, are awarded each year to entering and continuing students.
Stipends vary, but all awards cover tuition and ordinary living expenses.
Students who are United States citizens should consider applying for a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship or for other fellowships awarded by private foundations or the federal government. The Center for Applied Mathematics usually admits only students for whom financial support can be assured. To receive full consideration for financial aid, applications should be submitted by January 15.
