Scholarships
A number of fellowships and scholarships to acknowledge outstanding chemistry
students and to provide assistance in their studies exist in the WMU Foundation
Chemistry accounts. A current listing is provided below. These scholarships
augment awards made to students supported by WMU, the Honors College and
the American Chemical Society.
(Undergraduate and Graduate Level)
Elementary Chemistry Fund
This fund sustains efforts to assist students who are in financial or personal difficulties to continue their studies. It has supported a number of students since it was begun in 2005. Under other circumstances, these students may not have completed their degrees. Selection is made on the nomination of a faculty member and a faculty vote. Contributions to this fund can be made through the Buy an Element! fundraiser. Donors are recognized by a plaque that appears by the element sponsored on the mural that hangs inside the chemistry building.
