Welcome to the Math Prize for Girls
The Advantage Testing Foundation sponsors an annual math competition for high-school girls throughout the United States. Our goal is to encourage young women with exceptional potential to become the mathematical and scientific leaders of tomorrow.
Our first-ever contest took place on Saturday, November 14, 2009 at New York University in New York City. Girls from across the country competed for $44,000 in cash prizes.
Elizabeth Synge of Massachusetts won the $20,000 first prize. Download the press release. View the list of winners. For a description of the day, see the blog post by Mary O'Keeffe.
