Scholarships and Giving

Due to the generosity of our alumni and friends, scholarships and awards are presented annually to our top physics students, based on academic achievement, service to the department, and area of academic interest. Additionally, through donations and pledges, the department is able to maintain funds to help support student travel to national conferences and for student awards. See application information.

By giving to the department, you are helping to support our students and the future of our program. Please know that your gifts are much appreciated.
