Society of Physics Students Leadership Scholarships

Eligibility

Society of Physics Students Leadership Scholarships, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards of $6000 each.

Description

The SPS Leadership Scholarships will be awarded to physics majors in the latter stages of their undergraduate careers. This scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic performance and leadership in their department (often through SPS or the department group). Applicants must have at least junior level standing according to their institution's definition, and plan to be enrolled as an undergraduate for at least one more semester. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation from faculty members familiar with the applicant and his or her qualifications. The recommenders should comment on the applicant in light of each of the three criteria: high scholarship performance both in physics and overall studies, the exhibition of the potential and intention for continued scholastic development in physics, and active participation in SPS programs. Awardees will be required to submit a completed W-9 federal tax form (or equivalent for international students) before funds are dispersed. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
