These scholarships, for high-achieving students new to graduate programs in the School of Engineering, are used to supplement other forms of support provided by a department. Typically, each student recipient will have a scholarship for one year. Students must maintain enrollment in at least six hours and a 3.00 GPA, in order to keep the scholarship the second semester. During subsequent years, students are generally supported with research funds. Preference for the Strobel Scholarship will be given to students who plan to pursue a doctorate and to students entering the graduate program at the University of Kansas from other universities. Preference for the Chaffee Scholarship will be given to students who are U.S. citizens.
The Chaffee and Strobel scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. Award considerations will include the applicant's academic performance (GPA), personal statement, scores on achievement tests, letters of recommendation, evidence of involvement in and commitment to the engineering profession, and an individual's record of scholarly activities. Students interested in being considered for either of these scholarships should contact their department. Each department submits nominations of qualified graduate students by the first week of February to Maureen Mersmann, 1 Eaton Hall. All nominations will be reviewed by the Graduate Studies and Research Scholarship Committee, and recommendations will be forwarded to Glen A. Marotz, Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs, who will make final award decisions. Notification on award decisions will be sent to departments by the end of February, and departments will send award letters to scholarship recipients.
This scholarship recognizes students who desire to participate in interdisciplinary, proactive research to advance or sustain biodiversity. Contact Maureen Mersmann, 1 Eaton Hall, (785) 864-1952, mersmann@ku.edu, for more information about how to apply for the scholarship.
