[phas-dept] [BULK] Scholarship Opportunities

[Matt Wood]

A great opportunity and students are encouraged to apply by completing the online application.    (see links below)
 
There are 2 options for undergraduate students and the fellowship is for graduate level.  In the past, the awards have been made directly to the recipient.
 
TAMUC students have been awarded at both levels however very few completed the application process last year and no awards were made for our university.  APPLY—and complete the application process.  We would like to see your name on the awards list. 
 
Best wishes,
