Scholarship Opportunities
Welch Research Scholarship
This scholarship is open to chemistry and biochemistry majors who wish to do research at Angelo State
University with a professor in our department. A call for research proposals for this scholarship is
sent out toward the end of the fall and spring semester. Current distributions are $1,500 and $3,200 for
long semesters and summer research, respectively.
Carr Research Scholarship
The Carr Research Scholarship provides students with the opportunity to perform research in an undergraduate setting.
