Below are listed past winners of undergraduate awards and scholarships administered by the Department of Mathematics. (For more information on the awards, see the history of the awards..)

Awards were designated in the spring of the years indicated below; Strauss TAs taught and scholarships were received in the following academic year. A dash ("--") indicates we have no record of a winner (in particular, no winner is recorded in the University graduation commencement program of that year). In most or all of these cases, the award was not given in that year. Except for the Mathematics Competition / Krahn scholarships and possibly the dashes, so far as we know the record for scholarships and awards is complete. Any further information is welcome and may be sent to .

There are also photos of past winners in the following years 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
