KFUPM Mathematics Olympiad

The KFUPM Mathematics Olympiad is a national-level competition organized by King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia. It is designed to discover and nurture mathematically talented high school students by challenging them with non-routine problems in algebra, geometry, number theory, and other advanced topics beyond the regular school curriculum. The Olympiad is typically open to secondary school students in Saudi Arabia who meet the grade and school-year eligibility criteria announced each cycle. Participants first go through a selection or preliminary stage (often coordinated through their schools or regional education offices), and top performers advance to further rounds. Beyond recognition and awards, the competition can provide pathways to university scholarships, enrichment programs, and possible selection for deeper math training, giving students a strong foundation for STEM studies and future olympiad participation.
