SIAM Student Paper Prize
The SIAM Student Paper Prizeis awarded every year to the student author(s) of the most outstanding paper(s) submitted to the SIAM Student Paper Competition. This award is based solely on the merit and content of the student's contribution to the submitted paper. Up to three awards will be made. The purpose of the Student Paper Prize is to recognize outstanding scholarship by students in applied mathematics or computing.
Description of the Award
Each recipient of the SIAM Student Paper Prize shall receive a framed certificate and a cash award of $1,000.

Eligibility
Eligibility is restricted to students in good standing who do not yet hold the degree of PhD on the application deadline. Papers entered in the competition must have already been submitted for publication. Submissions may be based on co-authored papers.
Requirements for Submission
Student Documents
To enter the competition, a student must submit:

- a short vita (at most 2 pages).
- the complete paper.

Co-author Letters
If a paper is co-authored, each PhD-holding co-author must write a letter attesting to the student's pivotal role and contributions to the results.
If the student's advisor is a co-author of the submitted paper, we will need a letter containing the material of a co-author's letter and the material of the advisor's letter (see below). This may all be contained in one letter.
Advisor Letter
The student's advisor also must submit a letter that:
