Mathematical Congress of the Americas Travel Grants
With generous funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the American Mathematical Society (AMS) is pleased to offer the Mathematical Congress of the Americas (MCA) 2025 Travel Grant Program. This program will offer travel grants to provide partial support for U.S.-based mathematicians to attend the Mathematical Congress of the Americas (MCA), July 21-25, 2025, at the University of Miami in Miami, FL. The quadrennial Mathematical Congress of the Americas is organized by the Mathematical Council of the Americas (MCofA), and will be hosted by the Institute of the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas (IMSA), University of Miami.
Selection for MCA 2025 Travel Grants will be based on applicants' eligibility for the program, their research record, the potential impact of the MCA on their professional development, and need. Priority in funding will be given to early-career mathematical scientists.
What is the timeline for this grant?
- Applications opened Wednesday February 26, 2025
- Applications closed on April 14, 2025.
- Applicants will be notified of their application status by June 12, 2025.

What will this grant provide?
This grant will provide partial travel support to attend MCA 2025. Travel grants will be up to \$1,120 for graduate student recipients and \$1,240 for career mathematician recipients. Eligible expenses will include economy roundtrip airfare, train, or personal auto mileage; hotel and meals; and registration.
Grantees are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to the meeting, registering, and paying appropriate fees.
Receipts are required for all expenses for which grantees request reimbursement, except meals. If a grantee is requesting reimbursement for personal auto mileage, a Google Map of your route and a sample economy roundtrip airfare are required. Every receipt must show proof and method of payment by the grantee, and if the receipt shows a different name, proof of repayment to that person must be attached. Questions about eligible expenses should be directed to the AMS Programs staff.
