Scholarships for Physics Majors
As well as university-wide academic scholarships, several scholarships are specifically designated for physics majors. Some of these are reserved for entering freshmen, others for upperclassmen (rising juniors and seniors), and others may be awarded to any physics major. To be eligible for any of these scholarships you must submit an application, and (in some cases) one or more letters of reference, by December 15 of the preceding year. Except for the honors scholarships, recommendations for each of these scholarships is made by the department faculty, based on the student's previous school performance, standardized test scores, the student's letter of application, and on any letters of reference submitted.
