Over the past two years, these scholarships have ranged between $500 and $1,500. |

Typical application procedure requires students to submit a résumé, a copy of transcript (available online), and a short essay to Jane Price in the chemical engineering office. Deadline will be around mid-February.

Once we receive all applications, we will hold short interviews with each student.
