Building Brighter Futures
Meet Physics scholarship recipients
The department is pleased to present the recipients of the departmental scholarships funded for the upcoming academic year that were awarded at our spring scholarship luncheon. These awards recognize just a few of the outstanding students in our program who have shown exceptional academic achievement, dedication to their studies, and potential in physics.
In addition to the awards listed below we have offered several recruitment scholarships from our Physics Excellence fund as we work to build our incoming class of physics majors. Recruitment scholarships play a crucial role in attracting and enrolling new students, especially in an increasingly competitive higher education landscape. These scholarships go beyond simply providing financial aid, serving as a powerful tool to drive student engagement, enrollment, and ultimately, academic success.
Our alumni and friends play a crucial role in funding these life-changing recruitment scholarships. By giving back, they demonstrate their belief in the potential of future generations as they understand firsthand the transformative power of a quality education.
The department congratulates the recipients listed below and those that we hope will join us in the coming academic year. We anticipate celebrating their future successes and contributions to physics in our program and beyond.
