Amount: multiple awards in varying amounts up to $10,000
Due Date: February 1
Offered to new or currently enrolled students attending full time who intend to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in laboratory-based biology and/or chemistry, and who intend to pursue a career in either or both of these fields. Applicants must demonstrate financial need and academic potential. The award is renewable, and is dependent upon satisfactory completion of Evergreen academic work.
