Departmental Undergraduate Scholarships
Freshman Awards
The Department of Chemical Engineering offers
several awards for outstanding freshman applicants who desire
to study chemical engineering. These 1/4 tuition awards (for each of the first 2 semester that you are enrolled in a Chemical Engineering class) are in addition to any
awards received form the university and are unrestricted. The sole exception
to this policy is the Gordon B. Hinckley Presidential Scholarship which cannot be supplemented
with other university awards. Students should have math and science ACT
scores above 27 and an overall GPA of at least 3.7. Applications are available
below or from the Chemical Engineering Department (350 CB) upon request. The application
deadline is now April 15 of each year.
Returned-Missionary Awards
A $100 award is available for newly-returned
missionaries who enroll as chemical engineering majors their first semester
after their mission. Applications are available in the department office
(350 CB).
Dr. L. Douglas and Marian Bird Smoot Scholarship
This scholarship is to provide financial support to a limited number of students who are returned missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and who commit to an engineering or technology major. Preference will be given to those students majoring in Chemical Engineering. This scholarship is available to students who will be in their first year at BYU after returning from a Church mission. A minimum BYU grade point average of at least 3.0 is required as evidence of scholastic ability. The award criteria will be a combination of grade point average and financial need. An application form can be obtained from the Chemical Engineering Department secretaries. Each scholarship award will be a maximum of $1000 per student per academic year, or 1/3 of the tuition amount for a semester for an LDS student, whichever is greater. This is a one-time award; recipients are not eligible for awards in additional academic years.
Continuing Students
Several awards for junior and senior chemical
engineering majors have been provided by outside industry and individual donations.
These awards, based on GPA, need, and extracurricular activities,
are administered by the department on a semester-by-semester basis. Award
amounts vary, but are generally half tuition. Applications are available
below or from the department office (350 CB) and should be turned in by the October
15th for Winter semester and April 15th for Fall semester.
Research Work
While not a scholarship or grant, a research
project can be a stimulating and educational way to finance schooling.
Many of the chemical engineering faculty have research funding available
for interested students. Application is made by personal discussion with
appropriate faculty. Pay scales vary depending upon class and experience.
