In the country we recognize students who earn twenty top scores at each level.
Gold medals are awarded for the first place at each level nationwide. Silver medals are awarded for the second place at each level nationwide. Bronze medals are awarded for the third place at each level nationwide.
In states we recognize students who earn the three top scores at each level.
Blue Ribbons are awarded for the first place in state. Red Ribbons are awarded for the second place in state. White Ribbons are awarded for the third place in state. At times we change the ribbon awards to Best in State magnets.
In addition to medals and ribbons, the national and state winners are awarded with the Certificates of Ranking and gifts that may include: books, games, gift cards, toys, digital kits, college grants and mathematical summer camps (if travel safety allows).
Priority with receiving grants and camps belongs to students who participated in Math Kangaroo for several years with top scores. Math Kangaroo reserves the right to make exception to this rule if academic exception is demonstrated and funds are available.
Awards must be claimed by September 1 of the year of the competition.
