Dear Student,
Math Prize for Girls Board of Advisors
The Advantage Testing Foundation will hold its annual Math Prize for Girls contest on Saturday, September 7, 2013 , at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our contest features the largest monetary math prize for girls in the world. We will award $49,000 in cash prizes, including a top prize of $25,000. In addition, every invited contestant will receive a few gifts, including (courtesy of Wolfram Research) a copy of Mathematica for Students , a powerful computer program for performing mathematical computations. To qualify for the Math Prize, you must currently be in 11th grade or below. You must also have taken one of the American Mathematics Competition (AMC) exams given in February 201 3 : the AMC 10 or the AMC 12. You can apply to enter our contest on our web site, mathprize.atfoundation.org . You will need to type in your AMC score(s). There is no fee to apply or to participate. The application deadline is June 15. By the end of June, we will let you know whether your application to take our exam has been accepted. We will invite the top 300 applicants based on AMC scores. The Math Prize contest on September 7 will be a challenging, 2.5-hour exam, comprising 20 problems that test mathematical creativity and insight. We will announce the winners that afternoon at an awards ceremony for you and your parents or guardians. We will also invite our top 35 performers to participate in the Advantage Testing Foundation Math Prize Olympiad , a proof-based contest to be administered later in the year. We look forward to receiving your application. You might also let your friends know about this unique opportunity.
