Math Prize for Girls invites the top-scoring female-identifying applicants -- selected using their official AMC 10/12 (and often AIME) results -- to a weekend of math talks, career panels, and a proof-based exam at MIT each October. The Advantage Testing Foundation and Jane Street fund $100,000 in total prizes, including $50,000 for first place, a $2,000 Youth Prize for the top 9th-grader or below, and $500 MathCamp scholarships for the top 35 finishers. There's no fee to apply or compete, though most students cover their own travel and lodging.
