Mu ALpha Theta
Project Math Minds™

The Actuarial Foundation has joined with Mu Alpha Theta (MAT), the National High School and Two-Year College Mathematics Honor Society to implement Project Math Minds™, an actuarial-related project designed for high school students to work on during the school year.

Students compete for college scholarship money provided by the Foundation. Winners present their projects to other members of the Honor Society at the Mu Alpha Theta National Convention.

Please note: Students who want to submit a project must be members of MAT and their school must be a current MAT Chapter. For more information, please contact MAT directly.

Guidelines for the 2012-2013 Project Math Minds Assignment will be available in late July.
