Scholarships

The Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering awards scholarships annually to undergraduates in recognition of their scholastic achievements and activities.

Sponsored by the department, alumni and corporate endowments, these scholarships are granted according to the wishes of gift donors, which may include selection criteria such as merit, need, diversity, gender, year in college or other basis. Some of the scholarships are renewable. Each spring, scholarship recipients are recognized, along with winners of the Undergraduate Research Symposium, at an annual ceremony.

Incoming first-year students are automatically considered for several four-year departmental scholarships upon acceptance to our program.

Current students have the opportunity to nominate themselves via a self-nomination process that typically begins in December. Faculty members are also asked to nominate their highly productive and successful students. The department’s Awards and Scholarship Committee reviews applications and selects recipients.
