| Chemical Engineering Scholarships
Every winter term chemical engineering students can apply for departmental scholarships described below. Applications are distributed in classes and are available in 3118 Dow. The A.H. White Scholarship provides financial assistance to students who transfer to Michigan from another university or college. Applications for this award will be provided to transfer students when they come to campus for orientation before they begin their studies at Michigan Corporate scholarships are administered by the College of Engineering, Scholarship Office, 1432 Lurie Engineering Center. Students will receive e-mail notification when applications are being accepted for these scholarships. Criteria for all scholarships include: academic performance, financial need, and extracurricular activities. Departmental Scholarships Helen B. Gibson Scholarship Through the generosity of her husband, William M. Gibson, a scholarship to commemorate the late Helen B. Gibson will be awarded to an undergraduate student in the University of Michigan Chemical Engineering Department. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gibson attended the University of Missouri at Columbia during the Depression, and largely financed their own education there. Therefore, evidence by the applicant of working to help finance his or her education will be an important factor in awarding the scholarship.
Through the considerable generosity of one of our alumni, Dr. C.S. Goddin (Class of 1937E), we have established an annual prize to honor both our benefactor and a student in chemical engineering. This prize will recognize an undergraduate junior student in the chemical engineering department who has shown exceptional merit, based on qualities of leadership and scholarship . The prize will consist of a framed citation and a $2,000 cash award. We encourage any person, who believes they have a worthy recipient to recommend, to make a short nomination. Student participation , by nomination by their colleagues, is especially welcome. Lloyd L. and Barbara B. Kempe Scholarship Professor Lloyd Kempe, a faculty member in the department for thirty-one years, was among the very first educators to introduce biochemical and bacteriological science and processes into the chemical engineering undergraduate and graduate curricula. The scholarship fund, established after Professor Kempe's death in 1994, recognizes and perpetuates his value of independent thought, his high standards, his personal care for all, and his value of treating all persons as individuals. It was also meant to encourage study in the biochemical field at the University of Michigan. Students can apply for this scholarship when applying for Departmental Scholarships listed above. Criteria for awarding the scholarship:
This scholarship is given annually to exceptional and worthy students to help them realize their educational goals.
Howard M. Tenbroeck received a master's degree in chemical engineering from Michigan in 1937. He spent his career at Mobil, retiring in 1980. In 1992, nine years after Howard's death, Jane Ten Broeck decided to contribute to the education of future generations of Michigan chemical engineers and set up this scholarship for undergraduates. This award is given each year to one outstanding chemical engineering student.
James O. Wilkes, professor emeritus of chemical engineering, first came to Michigan in 1954 for graduate school. After receiving a master's degree here, he was a faculty member at Cambridge for four years before returning to the University of Michigan in 1960. He retired in 2000 but remains active in service to the department. The scholarship set up in Professor Wilkes' honor is for ChE students and is intended to help those who are working Criteria for awarding the scholarship:
G. Brymer Williams was associated with our department for 68 years, longer than anybody else. He was one of the most loved faculty members in our history. Brymer was born in Denver, where he started studying chemical engineering, but transferred to the University of Michigan in 1935, receiving his B.S. in 1936. He returned to Ann Arbor in 1947, receiving his Ph.D. in 1949. He joined the faculty in 1947. Brymer passed away September 19, 2003. Countless alumni remember Brymer’s devoted friendship to students. Upon his retirement in 1984, a substantial scholarship fund was established in his name—the first in our history to be named after a living faculty member. This award is made to selected students who have financial need and a good academic record.
This Scholarship honors Professor Alfred Holmes White who founded the Department of Chemical Engineering in 1898 and served as its Chairman until his retirement in 1943. Under his guidance the department grew to be recognized throughout the world as for its outstanding programs in teaching and research in Chemical Engineering. This Scholarship will be awarded to an outstanding student from another college or university in the State of Michigan who transfers into the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan for continuing studies for a baccalaurate degree in Chemical Engineering. This Scholarship carries a stipend of $1500 for the first year, and may be renewed for a second year providing an above-average academic record is achieved during the first year. Corporate Scholarships [top] Application forms are available in 3118 Dow in late fall.
Other Scholarship Opportunities Merit and need-based scholarships are available through the College of Engineering Scholarship Office. Applications are available in 1432 LEC.
