Merck travel grants
provide $1,000 in funding for analytical and/or physical chemistry
undergraduate travel at the following institutions: Purdue University,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Indiana,
University of Illinois, University of Wisconsin, and the University of
Arizona. One award will be made at each school.
-
This award is to be used
to fund travel to the conference of your choice and may be augmented
with additional funds from your department as needed or given
concurrently with other fellowships.
-
Travel should occur
anytime during the 2007-2008 academic year or during the summer of 2008.
The award may be made retroactively to sponsor travel that has already
occurred during this period.
-
Travel grants are paid in
one installment and awarded to the institution on the awardee’s behalf.
Tuition is not to be paid out of the fellowship funding, nor is the
university permitted to deduct any administrative costs.
To be eligible, applicants must:
-
Be full-time
undergraduates working toward B.S. or B.A. degrees in analytical and/or
physical chemistry and must have
completed the first year of
program study by the time of
the conference sponsored. The grants will typically be awarded to
persons in their junior or senior year.
-
Travel grants will be
awarded based on an excellent track record on course work, outstanding
research ability, and accomplishment.
