Undergraduate Scholarships

We offer several scholarships to undergraduate students. Announcements are made once a year, and scholarships are awarded at our annual departmental event in April. Announcements are shared at the end of the fall semester. Deadline is typically set for 1-3 weeks after the announcement. Applicants are usually asked to submit their resume, a personal statement outlining their financial need, and recommendation letters (if necessary). Occasionally, additional materials may also be requested.
