UT Chem/Biochem Dept

The Chemistry & Biochemistry Department at UT Austin has been selected by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation as one of a small number of nationwide higher education institutions to receive a Beckman Scholars Program Award. This program has been running at UT Austin since 1999 and is currently funded through 2016. This program is open to all UT undergraduates.

The purpose of the Beckman Scholars Program is to help stimulate, encourage and support research activities in chemistry and biological sciences by exceptionally talented undergraduate students who have the capacity to become national leaders in their fields of endeavour.

Each Beckman Scholar will be paid to carry out full-time research over two summers and part-time research in the intervening fall and spring. The scholarships also include funds for research expenses and student travel to scientific meetings.

Application for the Spring 2015 competition is now open. There are two parts to your application. You must complete this online application form.The list of supporting material required for the 2015 Beckman Scholar Program is available here for download.

By noon on Monday April 6th 2015, your application form must be completed, and supporting material needs to be submitted by email to the program director (DrRuth@utexas.edu).
