The Simons Foundation’s Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MPS) division invites applications for the Simons Dissertation Fellowship in Mathematics to provide research support to excellent graduate students in the final years of their Ph.D. studies. This program was created to honor the work of our late founder, Jim Simons, and his commitment to supporting the field of mathematics.

The grant will commence September 1, 2026, for a two-year period, to coincide with the final fourth and fifth years of the Fellow’s Ph.D. program. The grant will provide $19,200 per year for a total of $38,400 USD.
