Scholarships and conference travel support help reduce financial barriers, allowing physics and engineering physics undergraduates to pursue their passions and engage in innovative research experiences at CU Boulder.

Scholarships

Department of Physics scholarships are awarded for a variety of considerations including academic achievement, financial need, research interests, and outreach activities. Students must complete the CU Boulder General Scholarship Application in order to apply for and submit supplemental information for department-based scholarships. The application is open November 1 through March 15 for the following academic year. Currently, departmental scholarships in physics are only available for continuing students.

Physics scholarships requiring an application include:

Albert A. Bartlett Award in Physics

Barbara Abraham Shrauner Endowed Scholarship

Leon and Mitzi Shands Endowed Scholarship in Physics

Department of Physics Undergraduate Scholarships (includes multiple scholarship opportunities)

Conference Travel Funding

Undergraduate Research Travel Award (for students presenting research)

Physics or engineering physics undergraduates traveling to present a paper or poster on their research at a conference in the United States can apply for an Undergraduate Research Travel Award. Funding is provided through generous donations to the Jesse Kramer Undergraduate Travel Award Fund and the Uriel Nauenberg Undergraduate Research Travel Award Fund.
