Two LeRoy Apker Awards are given annually by the American Physical Society for outstanding achievement in physics by an undergraduate, one for students from PhD granting institutions and one for students from non-PhD granting institutions. The award includes $5000 and a travel allowance to the APS meeting at which the award is presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two LeRoy Apker Awards are given annually by the American Physical Society for outstanding achievement in physics by an undergraduate, one for students from PhD granting institutions and one for students from non-PhD-granting institutions. These students were selected among the four finalists from non-PhD-granting institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to ensure the vitality of the human resource base of science, mathematics, and engineering in the United States and to reinforce its diversity. A competition is conducted for Graduate Research Fellowships, with additional awards offered for women in engineering and computer and information science. NSF Graduate Fellowships offer recognition and three years of support for advanced study to approximately 900 outstanding graduate students in the mathematical, physical, biological, engineering, and behavioral and social sciences, including the history of science and the philosophy of science, and to research-based PhD degrees in science education.

Between twelve and fifteen scholars per year are selected to pursue a program of research and study leading to a master’s degree. The scholarship is worth $44,000 \u2013 $50,000 and covers all expenses for the year of study in Cambridge, including up to $1000 support for travel. Eight Churchill Fellows have gone on to win Nobel Prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fulbright program for U. S. students aims to foster leadership, learning, and empathy between cultures. Sponsored by the U. S. Department of State and awarded to more than 1300 students annually, a Fulbright scholarship offers U. S. students support for one year of study or research abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n APS Apker Award Two LeRoy Apker Awards are given annually by the American Physical Society for outstanding achievement in physics […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":5372,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5375","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5375"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6185,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5375\/revisions\/6185"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Year<\/th> Winner<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> 2017<\/td> Calvin Leung<\/td><\/tr> 2006<\/td> Stephanie M.
