Thanks to the generosity of several alumni and others interested in helping deserving chemistry and biochemistry students, the UW Department of Chemistry offers various scholarships:

• Academic Scholarships for tuition ($1,000 - $2,500) and book awards ($500) for UW students who are currently declared chemistry or biochemistry majors. Book awards are “mini-scholarships” to offset the cost of textbooks or any educational supplies needed. 
• Summer Research Awards ($6,000) for UW students who are current or aspiring chemistry/biochemistry majors and desire to pursue research in chemical sciences, are at earlier stages of their career, and demonstrate financial need.

Before awarding funds, the Department will consult with the Office of Student Financial Aid to confirm whether any grant aid might be affected by receiving a scholarship. UW Chemistry scholarships are disbursed to the student account to be applied to tuition payment.

• Academic Scholarships for tuition and book awards are for UW students who are currently declared chemistry or biochemistry majors.
• Summer Research Awards are for UW students who are current or aspiring chemistry/biochemistry majors and desire to pursue research in chemical sciences, are at earlier stages of their career, and demonstrate financial need. *International students may be eligible for this scholarship*
