More than 1,500 high school students are expected to attend Math Day at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln later this month.

There will be mathematical competitions, and students will be able to explore their interests in math and discover what a career in math can offer.

A total of $34,000 in four-year UNL scholarships, certificates and trophies will be awarded to top participants.

The event is scheduled to begin at the Coliseum at 8 a.m. on Nov. 15.
