Applications due March 15 each year.
The scholarship consists of a $2000 unrestricted cash award, a certificate of recognition, and a year's complimentary membership in Iota Sigma Pi.
This award shall recognize potential excellence in chemistry and related fields achieved by a woman at the graduate or undergraduate level. At the time of nomination, the candidate must:
-
have returned to academic studies (from any field) after an absence of three or more years (three or more years of elapsed time means 3 and 30 are treated equally).

-
have completed at least one academic year of college chemistry upon returning.
-
exhibit exceptional qualities of interest, excellence, and professional potential in chemistry.
