Title
Beckman Scholars Program
Agencies
Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation (Beckman)
Description
The Beckman Scholars Program is a limited-submission, invitation-only program. Each year, the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation carefully reviews extensive information about institutions across the country and then identifies colleges and universities to receive Beckman Scholars Program application invitations. Invited institutions demonstrate a significant commitment to undergraduate research in chemistry, the biological sciences and/or interdisciplinary combinations thereof. They also show the capability to compete successfully on a national level for scientific research funds in peer-reviewed government and private foundation supported programs over previous years. Their faculties and their research facilities are judged to be of the quality necessary to support the caliber of undergraduate research program sought for Beckman Scholars. Members of the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Council participate in the selection of institutions that are invited.
Factors considered in these selections include:
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Support
NIH Academic Research Enhancement Awards (NIHE)
National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Awards
NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates Awards (REU)
Howard Hughes Medical Institute Undergraduate Grants (HH)
Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation Grants "to advance the science of chemistry and the related sciences" (Dreyfus)
Research Corporation Cottrell College Science Awards (ResC)
American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund Awards (PRF)
Active chemistry and biological sciences participation at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) Annual Meetings
