Submission – Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation – 2019 Beckman Scholars
Program; June 15, 2019
Purpose: The Arnold and Mabel
Beckman Foundation recognizes outstanding undergraduates in chemistry and
biological sciences research through the Beckman Scholars Program. The purpose
of the program is to provide an in-depth, sustained undergraduate research
experience in chemistry, biochemistry, biological, and medical sciences, or some
interdisciplinary combination of these subjects, for exceptionally talented,
full-time undergraduate students at accredited US four-year colleges and
universities; young people who ultimately will become prominent leaders in
their scientific and professional pursuits. The Program’s financial support for
a student and mentor over 15 continuous months of research, in conjunction with
the Annual Beckman Symposium, offers an academically stimulating and unique
educational experience. The Beckman
Scholars Program is an institutional award that supports up to six Beckman
Scholars over a three-year period. Students will be named as Beckman
Scholars in the spring of their freshman year and retain the award for 15
months. Each
Institutional Award spans a three-year period, with 1-3 student/mentor teams
selected by the institution each year depending on its Carnegie
Classification.
