“I am extremely honored to receive the TMS Electronic, Magnetic & Photonic Materials Division Gilbert Chin Scholarship. This award recognizes my hard work and the talent of the outstanding faculty, staff, and students that make up the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University. In addition, this scholarship will provide significant financial support as I continue my education in materials science.”


Recipient PhotoExtraction & Processing Division Scholarship
Matt Lyndoe, South Dakota School of Mines & Technology

“I am honored to accept this award. I appreciate TMS recognizing that financial assistance is possible for students who aspire to do their best. Thank you for helping me achieve my professional goals.”


Recipient PhotoExtraction & Processing Division Scholarship
Andrea Murland, University of Alberta

“It is an honor to be recognized for leadership and academics within the materials science community. I am privileged to join the company of past and future EPD Scholars within TMS. The support of TMS has renewed my motivation to maintain a high level of academic and extracurricular involvement.”


Recipient PhotoExtraction & Processing Division Scholarship
Megan Ross, Michigan Technological University

“I am honored to have my academic achievement and involvement recognized through the TMS/EPD Scholarship. I am also grateful that TMS values and supports students in their academic endeavors and hope that other students will be encouraged to apply in the upcoming years.”


Recipient PhotoExtraction & Processing Division Scholarship
Nicole R. Schatz, Washington State University

“I appreciate this award so much. It is a great honor to be selected as a TMS EPD scholar. I owe so many thanks to all the people who helped me to gain the experience and knowledge that aided in my selection for this award. To all my professors at Washington State University, my mentors at Battelle NW, and the TMS scholarship committee, thank you so much for your time and contributions toward my education. I will work very hard to honor this award; it is truly a great help in offsetting the costs of my education.”


Recipient PhotoLight Metals Division Scholarship
Cassandra Degen, South Dakota School of Mines & Technology

“During my first three years at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology [SDSM&T], I have experienced first hand what a wonderful university it is. The greatness of SDSM&T is exceeded only by the greatness of organizations that support the students. Your contribution through TMS to the many student members is great encouragement for students to stay in school and in the field of materials and metallurgical engineering by lessening the financial pressure so students can concentrate on academics. Without organizations such as TMS, a great education would be near impossible for many students, such as myself. Again I want to thank TMS for its contribution and hope that this organization will continue to support its student members in years to come.”


Recipient PhotoLight Metals Division Scholarship
Ayesha Hashambhoy, McMaster University

“I am truly honored to have been selected as an awards recipient. It is very encouraging to receive this kind of recognition and support as a student.
