The department announces the availability of an E.H. Taylor 2-year  Award in Mathematics. Subject to available funds, we anticipate this year's award will be at least $1000 per semester and could be renewed for a second year.  We also anticipate having such an award available every year.

A student who will be completing a two-year community college program, who has applied to and been accepted by Eastern Illinois University and who intends to major in Mathematics and Computer Science, Mathematics, or Mathematics (with teacher certification) will be considered for this award.  EIU students currently enrolled as a major within the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science are also eligible.
