Several scholarships are available which are specifically designated for physics majors.
Decisions are normally made in March. Incoming freshmen who indicate a physics major on their application AND who apply for financial aid will receive information from the department in February. If you want information sooner than that, please contact us and we'll get it to you. Selection for each of these scholarships is based on the student's previous school performance, on standardized test scores, on the student's letter of application, and on the letter of reference. Each year the department intends to award one Algood and Elizabeth Carlen Scholarship to an outstanding incoming freshman who declares a physics major.
