The Frederick A. Meier Science Award
This award is endowed by the family of Frederick A. Meier. Dr. Meier was a part of the College from faculty member to President. There are two awards in the amount of $750.00 each, one to a Chemistry major and one to a Biology major.
The Awards will be announced at the end of the Spring semester so that they can be used during the next year. The Award can be used in a single semester or spread out over two semesters. The two annual awards of $750.00 will be awarded according to the principles and guidelines on the application form, which can be obtained from the department office.
