Scholarships and Awards
Department awards ($1 000 – $5 000)
Our graduate students benefit each year from the generosity of benefactors who have endowed awards in the Department of Chemistry. These awards are distributed each fall to graduate students in recognition of their outstanding academic and research performance over the preceding year. All currently enrolled graduate students with a GPA of 3.50 are eligible to apply (deadline announced each August/September).
In Fall 2019, the Department of Chemistry administered over $100 000 in such awards to ~55 graduate students in our program averaging ~$1,250 each.
Bursaries to support graduate students with financial need are also available.
A complete list of scholarships, awards and bursaries is available as a searchable database here.
