Undergraduate Scholarship

Computational Scholarship Available for Undergraduates. Apply for up to $40,000 over four years.

Dr. Rabson is pleased to announce that the USF-NSF Scholarship in Computational Science is now open to all continuing undergraduate students majoring in chemistry, physics, or statistics. The scholarship covers up to $10,000 per year, depending on financial need as determined by the financial-aid office. You may still be eligible even if you already have a Bright-Futures or other scholarship. Funds in the amount of $500,000 for the scholarship have been provided by the National Science Foundation.

In addition to the money, the scholarship provides the opportunity to learn high-performance-computing skills that will be useful in graduate school or employment. No prior computing experience is required.
