Eligible recipients are any
level--undergraduate or graduate full-time students enrolled in the physics major
curriculum.
It is the donor’s desire that first preference be given to female applicants from
Asiatic/Oriental countries and territories, but shall not be limited to this particular
ethnic group or gender. However, it is preferred that the recipient understands that the
award is for individuals who are committed to returning to a teaching and/or research
position in the physical sciences in his or her home country, upon completing their degree
at WMU.
Preference should also be given to students involved directly with experimental
accelerator physics/applications/development; second priority to theorists in the same
areas of concentration. Third priority would be to theoretical physics not related to
accelerators; finally would be any and all other aspects of physics. |
