Support the Fresno Math Circle:

As you may know, any quality program such as the Fresno Math Circle requires expenses. Most math circles and similar programs in the nation are charging a tuition/registration fee. Others ask the families to support the program on a voluntary basis.

While the Fresno Math Circle is free of charge, the program does welcome your donations. The suggested amount is $100 per semester. Donations of this size would help us continue to run a quality program. However, donations of any size are extremely helpful and always welcome.

Please be informed that a donation is not required and is not a criterion for your child's admittance to the program.

If you would like to make a donation, please make the check payable to Fresno State and mail it to:

Attn: Maria Nogin

For younger groups, they often lead entire sessions of the Math Circle. In addition, in the spring semester they may lead Math Kangaroo preparation sessions (check calendar for dates). On average, student helpers spend an additional 2-3 hours of preparation time per meeting.

Student helpers gain valuable experience in working with elementary, middle, and high school students and are paid $20/hour.
