Alumni/Faculty Endowed Physics Scholarship 

The Alumni/Faculty Endowed Physics Scholarship will be given each year to current or incoming students who are on either a physics or pre-engineering track and who have demonstrated potential for mastery of classical and modern physics. Financial need will be considered in the review of scholarship applications. The recipient will be announced at the Honors Convocation in April. 


Dorothy and David Kammer Scholarship in Physics

This scholarship is an academic award and is not based on financial need. This award, however, may be granted in addition to other eligible financial aid and may be used to reduce the amount of guaranteed student loans and on-campus employment included in the student’s financial aid package. The recipient of this award will be announced at the Honors Convocation in April.
