Graduate Publication Scholarship

The BAE Department offers a scholarship award to recognize contributions made by graduate
students who publish findings of scholarly work conducted in partial fulfillment of graduate
degree requirements in the department. Graduate students must be enrolled in either an M.S.
or Ph.D. program in BAE and in good academic standing to be eligible for the award.
Students can receive the award for their first peer-reviewed scientific journal article submitted
and for each subsequent scientific journal article appearing in print. Students may apply for
this award for up to six (6) months after graduation.
