G.T. Buckland Scholarship

The G.T. Buckland Scholarship was established in 1978 to honor Professor Buckland at the time of his retirement from the Department of Mathematical Sciences. The distinguishing objectives of this scholarship include the recognition and encouragement of outstanding achievement in the department of mathematical sciences. Accordingly, this award is presented to a rising junior or senior who has completed with distinction the calculus sequence and at least four other courses in the Department. Candidates may be nominated by departmental faculty members or through the Mathematics Honor Society (Pi Mu Epsilon). Applications must be supported by a letter of recommendation from at least one faculty member.

Inez Harris Mathematics Education Scholarship

The Inez Harris Scholarship is made possible by the generosity of Mrs. Sperling, a retired high school mathematics teacher and Applachian alumna (1934) from Shelby, NC. The intent of the scholarship is to encourage excellence in the teaching of mathematics at the high school level by attracting quality students to the mathematics education program at ASU. Candidates for this scholarship must be at the point in their program of doing student teaching during the coming academic year. Eligible students may be nominated by an Appalachian faculty member or may make direct application to the Scholarship Committee. Applications must be supported by a letter of recommendation from at least one faculty member.

Glaxo Wellcome Women in Science Scholarship

The Glaxo Foundation has established an endowment which makes available two $1000 scholarships for full-time women students at Appalachian who are majoring in and planning a career in the sciences. The purpose of the endowment is to recognize outstanding scholarship, to provide an incentive for women science students to enter the science profession, and to provide students with a woman scientist mentor at Glaxo.

The award is directed to be renewable based upon reapplication, reselection, and verification of satisfactory academic performance (3.0 grade point average). Preference in the awarding of this scholarship should accrue to female freshman applicants who would likely be eligible to receive the award in subsequent years. Second preference would be for sophomores, then juniors and seniors who have not received awards in previous years. The studentb's grade point average must remain at 3.0 or better to be eligible to continue receiving the award, and Glaxo Scholars who remain eligible will be given preference in receiving the award in subsequent years.
