About

The AwesomeMath Summer Program (AMSP) is a series of three-week, intensive online mathematics immersions for middle and high school students renowned for deep problem-solving and exposure to contest-level mathematics. Run by the AwesomeMath nonprofit, the 2026 program offers three distinct sessions: June 8–26, June 29–July 17, and July 20–August 7. The curriculum brings together talented students globally to engage with advanced concepts in Algebra, Combinatorics, Geometry, and Number Theory. Courses are categorized into four levels, ranging from computationally oriented material (Level 1) to proof-heavy Olympiad preparation (Level 3 & 4), building the stamina and creativity essential for exams like the AIME, USAMO, and IMO.

Admission requires an online application and the completion of an Admissions Test, which is not proctored and serves to gauge a student's problem-solving approach. For 2026, application rounds occur periodically, with the Regular Round 2 decision released on March 30 and the Late Round 1 on April 27. Tuition for 2026 ranges from $1,275 to $1,575 per course depending on the enrollment date, with a $1,000 stipend available for teaching assistants. While the program is now primarily virtual, it maintains a collegial culture through live, instructor-led sessions and interactive problem-solving forums.

Instruction is delivered by experienced mathematicians and pedagogical experts who emphasize idea exploration over rote technique. Lower-level courses (1 and 2) generally have no prerequisites beyond the admissions test, while advanced tracks (3 and 4) require demonstrated proof-writing ability via Part II of the admissions exam. The program does not confer academic credit, but it is highly regarded as a premier training ground for students pursuing competitive math and top-tier STEM university placements.
