Award and Scholarship Recipients (2010-2011)
In May 2011 we awarded $15,000 in departmental scholarships at the annual Student Awards Banquet; we awarded over $13,000 in 2010. These scholarships are funded almost exclusively by alumni donations and employer matching gifts, and many scholarships are named in honor of Chemistry faculty from years past. Recipients of the extra-departmental scholarships, for which we had several winners, are also recognized at the awards banquet.
