Description: 1. Applicants must be AIChE national student members at the time of application, undergraduates in chemical engineering during the 2010-2011 academic year, and members of a minority group (i.e. African-American, Hispanic, Native American, or Alaskan Native) that is underrepresented in chemical engineering. Students may apply who will complete the chemical engineering baccalaureate degree requirements in mid-year (i.e., after one semester, or one or two quarters), but such applicants, if successful, will receive prorated awards. 2. The selection of recipients will be based on the applicant's academic record, participation in AIChE student and professional activities, career objectives, and financial need.
In addition to this award, The Outstanding Scholastic Achievement Award -- that consists of a certificate and honorarium -- may be awarded to eligible applicants. No separate application form is required for that award.
