Math/Computer Science Awareness Day

The University of Houston Victoria, in conjunction with The Victoria College, hosts Math/Computer Science Awareness Day. Every year hundreds of top high school students from surrounding areas are offered an opportunity to come to our campus. They take part in competitions, feel camaraderie with like-minded students, and are inspired by the beauty and the richness of mathematics. They also receive a close-up look into what mathematicians do. We offer two scholarships to the contest winners, one for $2,000 and another for $1,000. Our 2010 contest will be announced at a later date.
