The Jane Street Academy of Math and Programing (AMP)
The Jane Street Academy of Math and Programing (AMP) is a five-week summer program for recent high school graduates interested in math and computer science. AMP provides a rigorous and interactive STEM curriculum focused on mathematics, computer programming, data analysis, and game theory.
Learning, teaching, and problem solving are core tenets of Jane Street’s culture — and this program is part of our commitment to give as many people as possible access to excellent educational opportunities. Jane Street will award a $5000 scholarship to each AMP participant to support their future educational opportunities.
Eligibility
This program is intended for incoming first-year undergraduate students who have experienced barriers to access and opportunity within advanced STEM educational experiences. Our definition of such barriers is broad; they could be related to personal circumstances or financial hardship. We acknowledge the breadth of challenges that could lead a high-achieving student to be under resourced or under exposed to advanced STEM studies. Examples include, but are not limited to: being a first-generation college student, identifying with an underrepresented ethnic/racial minority group, receiving free/reduced lunch, being Pell Grant eligible, having a notable need for financial assistance, attending an under-resourced or rural school, coming from a marginalized community, or experiencing personal hardship. This list is not exhaustive, and we encourage any student who is interested and believes they fit the criteria for the program to apply.
Students must be incoming first-year undergraduate students (high school class of ‘23) and planning to enroll full-time in a four-year undergraduate program either Fall 2023 or Winter 2024. Students planning a gap year for the 2023-2024 school year are eligible to apply. Participants must be authorized to be employed in the U.S. without visa sponsorship.
We expect the program to be inclusive of intellectually curious students who are excited by the opportunity to further their studies within math and computer science. Everyone will have different interests and personal experiences, but share a love for math and/or computer science.
