The Somerville Mathematics Fund is an affiliate of Dollars for Scholars established in 2000 to celebrate and encourage mathematics achievement in Somerville MA.  We will be looking for teacher grant applications in January and college scholarship applications in April.

The Somerville Mathematics Fund is an all-volunteer organization, which runs on donations and folks donating their time.  For information check out our website.  Then feel free to volunteer or to donate.
