Resources for Minority Faculty and Students

The following list provides resources for minorities in mathematics - great for both the students and for the professors who advise them. This includes organizations, programs, events, and funding opportunities, which support the success of members of minority groups in the mathematical sciences. The word "minority" refers to members of those groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences, including African-Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Pacific Islanders.
