This project increases recruitment and professional development of mathematics graduate students by focusing chiefly on the early stages of graduate education. There are three main goals; (a) to increase the number of Master's students who successfully transition to Ph.D. studies, (b) to provide advanced mathematical training for students to enter the workforce in Education or Industry upon completion of their Master's degrees, and (c) to increase success, and decrease the time to completion, of Ph.D. students. There are several factors that contribute to high retention and completion and, ultimately, to the success of the project. These include the diversified collection of high quality Master's degrees, newly created transitional and Ph.D. preparatory courses, close mentoring, and strong administrative support. Sixteen fellowships are awarded per year: 8 for students seeking a Master's degree and 8 for Ph.D. students. The project emphasizes recruitment of students from colleges in the Atlanta area, paying special attention to students from underrepresented groups. Joint seminars and exchange programs with area colleges and Research Experiences for Undergraduates projects are used as vehicles to attract qualified students to graduate studies in mathematics at Georgia Tech.

该项目主要侧重于研究生教育的早期阶段，以增加数学研究生的招聘和专业发展。有三个主要目标：（a）增加成功过渡到博士学位的硕士生人数。研究，（B）提供先进的数学培训，为学生进入劳动力在教育或工业完成他们的硕士学位，和（c）增加成功，并减少时间完成，博士学位。学生有几个因素有助于高保留率和完成率，并最终导致项目的成功。 其中包括高质量硕士学位的多元化集合，新创建的过渡和博士学位。预备课程、密切的指导和强有力的行政支持。每年颁发16个奖学金：8个用于攻读硕士学位的学生，8个用于攻读博士学位。学生该项目强调从亚特兰大地区的大学招收学生，特别注意来自代表性不足群体的学生。联合研讨会和交流计划与地区学院和研究经验的本科生项目被用来作为车辆，以吸引合格的学生在数学研究生学习在格鲁吉亚技术。
