Math Circle at Emory starts soon

January 23, 2026 Leave a comment

Registration is open now for the spring 2026 session of Math Circle at Emory University.

Math Circle is an enrichment program for kids in grades 6 through 12. It’s designed for kids who enjoy mathematics and want to explore topics and concepts that aren’t taught in their regular math class at school. Don’t think of it as a way to get ahead of the standard school curriculum, but rather as a chance to explore beyond the curriculum.

Classes will meet twice a month on Saturdays, beginning January 31 or February 7, depending on the class section. All classes will meet on the Emory campus.

You can get more information and register at the Math Circle website.

Emory Math Circle is free to attend, but the program operates with the help of donations, and they suggest a donation of $30 per child for those who can afford to give.

Apply now for scholarships for Georgia Tech summer program

January 23, 2026 Leave a comment

Georgia Tech has opened its application for scholarships for its Summer PEAKS programs for elementary, middle-school, and high-school students.

All scholarships are based on financial need and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. To apply, you’ll need to provide documentation of your household income. Students who qualify for the free or reduced lunch program in their public school are likely to qualify for these scholarships. There are no full scholarships, but awards that cover 25%, 50%, or 75% of tuition are available.

Be aware that if you apply for a scholarship, you’ll still need to register separately for the actual program your child wants to participate in, and being selected for a scholarship doesn’t guarantee your child a seat in their preferred program. Registration is scheduled to open at the end of February.

Full information on scholarships is available on the Georgia Tech website. The application launches from the information page.
