Canada/USA Mathcamp is a five-week residential summer program that brings together about 120 mathematically talented students from across North America and beyond. Instead of transcripts or test scores, applicants take a Qualifying Quiz of open-ended proof problems and write about their mathematical interests and background. Mathcamp is free for US and Canadian families with household income under $100,000, with need-based aid, including full scholarships, available above that line. There is no application fee.
