The
Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kentucky offers
several scholarships to undergraduate students majoring in physics.
Awards are typically for one year and range from $500 to $1500. All
prospective and current UK students considering a major in physics are
encouraged to apply. Current physics majors are also eligible.
Scholarship awards are made
primarily on the basis of merit (especially performance in science courses),
although financial need (as determined by the UK Office of Financial
Aid) may also be considered. Priority will be given to graduating
high school seniors, first and second year physics majors, and other
UK students considering majoring in physics.
Scholarship recipients are
required to register as a Physics Major before the start date of the
award, enroll in at least 3 credit hours of physics courses per semester,
and maintain an overall GPA of at least 3.3.
