The AIChE Minority Scholarship Award is presented to selected incoming college students annually. Applicants shall be required to be high school seniors during the current academic year and be planning to enroll during the 2024-2025 academic year in a four-year college or university offering a science or engineering degree. Students are encouraged to choose classes leading to a degree in chemical engineering. While students admitted for science and engineering degrees are encouraged to apply for this scholarship, preference will be given to students admitted into chemical engineering degree programs. Selection of winners will be based on the following criteria: the applicant's academic record; the applicant's participation in school and/or outside jobs or activities as outlined in their career essay and in the letter of recommendation from a high school counselor, math teacher or science teacher; and the applicant's reason(s) for choosing science or engineering.
