The A.R. Smith Scholarships in Chemistry are available to undergraduate chemistry majors at Appalachian State University.  The Scholarships are awarded to those students who are declared chemistry majors and who have demonstrated academic excellence at Appalachian State University.  Special consideration will be given to those students who are actively engaged in research with a chemistry department faculty member. 

 

Applicants must submit a typed, one-page statement describing career plans and goals or alternatively, a summary of research participation.  State also: your seminar attendance and your participation in departmental activities (including research and representation).  A personal interview may be scheduled as the Scholarship Committee deems necessary.  Recipients of these awards must have and maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.60 in chemistry and must maintain satisfactory progress toward the degree in chemistry.  The Scholarship Committee will also consider the student's overall performance when making its recommendations.

 

Students must apply for the A.R. Smith Scholarship each semester.  Awards are based on: available funds, chemistry class status, G.P.A., seminar attendance, research, participation in departmental activities, and effective representation of the A. R. Smith Department of Chemistry on campus as well as in the chemistry community.
