Mathematics Contest
Since 1968
SCSU's Annual Math Contest
Each spring since 1968, St. Cloud State University has proudly hosted the St. Cloud State Mathematics Contest, serving students in grades 7–12 from Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The 2026 Mathematics Contest is Thursday, April 9.
Students compete in six grade-level divisions, one for each grade from 7 through 12. Awards include:
- Medals for the top three individual scorers in each division
- Recognition certificates for students earning scores in the top 10 percent
- Plaques for the top three schools in each division, based on combined scores from the three highest‑scoring students
- Scholarships for seniors who plan to attend St. Cloud State University and achieve top results in the Grade 12 division
Each January, registration materials are sent to schools on our mailing list. If you would like to join the mailing list or request additional information about the contest, please contact us at mathcontest@stcloudstate.edu or (320) 308-3002.
