Introduction
The Mathematics program at Midway University provides students with skills in logic, problem-solving, and data-analysis. The foundation of a Mathematics degree provides a lot of options for students seeking employment in several industries, including banking, law, and information technology. A Mathematics degree can also lead to advanced study in any number of professional graduate school programs, such as business, law, medicine, or other areas.
The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics provides an opportunity for students to fulfill their potential and become contributing members of society in fields that are becoming increasingly important and in which there is growing demand. Students who complete this program will have the skills in logic, problem-solving and data analysis and the familiarity with mathematical concepts necessary for success in such fields as actuarial science, engineering, operations research, data processing, computer science, and Education. In addition, a broad-based background in mathematics has applicability for study or employment in fields outside of mathematics and science, e.g., banking, law, and economics.

Type A - Academic Merit Scholarships
Ruth Slack Roach Leadership Scholarship Program
The Ruth Slack Roach Leadership Scholarship program was created in September 1996 in memory of Ruth Slack Roach, a great community servant-leader. The purpose of the Midway University Ruth Slack Roach Leadership Scholarship program (RSR) is to develop women as leaders dedicated to personal and community service exemplified in the life of Ruth Slack Roach.
Students in the program carry out community service projects dedicated to Ruth’s memory and study principles of servant leadership to prepare them to carry on her legacy of service-centered leadership. Students develop leadership skills as they create and implement their projects.
The Scholar will serve as a Student Director of the RSR Leadership program and will be a mentor to the Ruth Slack Roach Leadership program participants, helping them to develop their leadership skills and their commitment to service. She will assist with the development of the RSR program and will oversee the planning and implementation of projects undertaken by participants in the program. The Scholar serves as a liaison between the members and the program advisor and will organize regular meetings of the Ruth Slack Roach participants. The Scholar will perform general administrative duties as assigned by the program advisor.
Scholarship Application Requirements
- Applicants must be bachelor’s degree-seeking female residential students who hold a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA and 60 earned credit hours.
- Qualified candidates will have the opportunity at the end of their sophomore year to apply for a scholarship that will cover full tuition.
- This scholarship is open to students interested in holding a leadership position and who have a commitment to community service.
- Applicants will interview with the Ruth Slack Roach Executive Committee, and the recipient of the award is chosen by the committee members.
- The recipient is required to live on campus.
- In accepting the scholarship, the Scholar agrees to a commitment of two years to the program with semester renewal based on a review of the self-assessment.
