Ph.D. Research Scholarships
The mission of the American Society for Composites (ASC) is to provide a communication forum for the engineering and scientific community in composite materials, and to provide the growth of knowledge from interdisciplinary engineering and scientific research in composite materials. In keeping with this mission, ASC is pleased to announce the annual graduate student research scholarship grant program for students who are formally enrolled in a doctoral program in engineering or science, and whose dissertation research is focused on some aspect of composite materials. Up to four awards will be given, each consisting of two parts. The first part is a grant to the student to support the student’s research (see current form for amount). The second part is a reimbursement of travel expenses (see current form for upper limit) to help the student attend the annual ASC Technical Conference and accept the award at the conference banquet.
Faculty advisors, who are also ASC members, are invited to submit their nomination(s) along with supporting information electronically by the specified due date.
