Awards and Scholarships In
Mathematics and Computer Science

Lower Division Awards:

Each year we hand out awards to our outstanding lower division math students. There are two categories: The Calculus Award and the Mathematics Award.

The following guidelines should be satisfied:

1. Must have finished Calculus I
2. Must be enrolled in a math course in the spring semester (Calculus II or higher)
3. Must be a freshman or sophomore, i.e., be in their first or second year
at SLU (we go by length of time, not by hours completed)
4. Must have mostly A's in their math courses

The Calculus Award is for students satisfying the above criteria who have not completed the calculus sequence.

The Math Award is for students satisfying the above criteria who have completed the calculus sequence and are currently enrolled in a math class beyond calculus. 

These awards are by recommendation only for students in or beyond the calculus sequence.  If you would like to be considered for these awards, please speak to your instructor.
