The GAANN Fellowship
The Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) is a program
of the Department of Education to increase the number of PhD's in areas
(like e.g. Mathematics) of national need. It provides fellowships to
assist graduate students with excellent records who demonstrate financial
need and plan to pursue a PhD in mathematics. With support from GAANN
our Department seeks to expand its outreach to under-represented groups.
Particular emphasis is on recruitment and retention of female and African-American
students.
The Department was the recipient of the grant three times, starting
in 2001. The principal investigator of the grant is Dr. Buskes. For
