Chemistry Scholarships for Undergrads

Scholarships for entering freshmen are awarded based on information submitted on the University of Memphis admissions application. A separate application is not required for these scholarships unless noted on the Scholarship Office website.

A small number of departmental scholarships are available to students already pursuing undergraduate degrees in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Memphis. 

  • The J. C. Williams Memorial Scholarship was established in 1997 in honor of a distinguished analytical chemistry professor to foster interest in chemistry as an academic major and assist students in the completion of the Bachelor's degree in preparation for going on to graduate studies in chemistry.
  • The William H. Zuber Memorial Scholarship was established in 1998 to honor this former student and faculty member. It is intended to foster interest in chemistry as an academic major and assist students in the completion of the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Chemistry.
