And the awards go to . . .

One of the benefits TMS student members enjoy is the opportunity to earn money for college through scholarships and student contests.

Scholarships are awarded annually to graduate and undergraduate student members. Visit the Student Awards page for information on awards, competitions, and scholarships.

The following are this year’s winners:


Recipient PhotoTMS J. Keith Brimacombe Presidential Scholarship
Nicholas DeLeon, University of Alabama

“The J. Keith Brimacombe TMS Presidential Scholarship is hard work. It is determination. It is inspiration. It is teamwork. It is generosity. It is the flagship scholarship of an organization that exhibits all of these qualities in spades. It means that a group of purposeful individuals can come together to advance our knowledge of materials and inspire more to do the same. I am honored to be a part of this society and to receive this award. I thank TMS, the University of Alabama Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, and my family and friends for making this possible.”


Recipient PhotoTMS Outstanding Student Paper, Graduate Division, First Place
Gopinath Trichy, North Carolina State University (NCSU)

“TMS has been extremely useful for my professional development. I would like to thank TMS, my parents, NCSU colleagues, Professor Jagdish Narayan (Ph.D. thesis advisor), and the National Science Foundation for funding my research.”


Recipient PhotoTMS Outstanding Student Paper, Graduate Division 2nd Place
Alpesh Shukla, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

“I dedicate this award to my advisor Prof. Bud Baeslack, who has always been supportive and encouraging to me. TMS has been an influential factor in my career development and I thank TMS for this reward. I wish TMS would continue to support, inspire, and challenge the future students via such competitions to make valuable contributions in materials research.”


Recipient PhotoElectronic, Magnetic & Photonic Materials Division Gilbert Chin Scholarship
Rodolpho Camacho Aguilera, Georgia Institute of Technology

“I am grateful and honored for this award that represents possibilities to increase the knowledge in an area where we know so little and have done so much.”


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 been greatly appreciated, and I look forward to being a part of this community as a graduate.”


Recipient PhotoExtraction & Processing Division Scholarship
Chris Willis, University of Alberta

“This award will allow me to comfortably finish my final year of school and bring me closer to my goals in extraction and processing engineering. For this I am extremely grateful.”


Recipient PhotoExtraction & Processing Division Scholarship
Cherie Turner, Missouri University of Science and Technology

“I would like to thank the Extraction and Processing Division for offering this award, and for selecting me to receive it. I also owe my thanks to the faculty of the Materials Science Department at UMR, as well as to all of my fellow students, who have helped me countless times. I plan to use this award to aid in my future graduate degree.”


Recipient PhotoExtraction & Processing Division Scholarship
Adam McGrath, University of Utah

“I am very grateful for receiving this scholarship. With the help of this aid, I hope to focus more on getting my degree in metallurgical engineering, which will enable me with the skills required for the field.”


Recipient PhotoLight Metals Division Scholarship
Jerica Cadman, LeTourneau University

“I am quite honored to receive the TMS/LMD Scholarship Award! A former student at LeTourneau University, who was a great friend and mentor of mine and is now pursuing a master’s degree in metallurgy, also received this award during his time as an undergraduate. Knowing him and having seen his accomplishments, I am that much more blessed in receiving such a prestigious award. As an LMD scholar, I hope to contribute much to the field of materials engineering as a student and especially during my career.”


Recipient PhotoLight Metals Division Scholarship
Ji Ma, Texas A&M University

“I am honored to be selected as an LMD scholar. In the future, light metals will form the foundations of the world, and I will endeavor to bring that future closer to the present.”


Recipient PhotoLight Metals Division Scholarship
John Gibbs, Colorado School of Mines

“The TMS/LMD scholarship is one of the most prestigious awards in the light metals field, and to receive it is an honor. This award is a testament not only to my hard work and dedication towards my field of study, but also to the support and encouragement I have received from my professors and colleagues at the Colorado School of Mines.”


Recipient PhotoMaterials Processing & Manufacturing Division Scholarship
James Paramore, University of Utah

“I am extremely honored to be selected as a recipient of the Materials Processing & Manufacturing Division Scholarship Award. To be academically recognized by a society with such prestige as TMS is truly exulting. The ongoing commitment to education in the field of materials science of philanthropic societies such as TMS is essential in cementing a strong and well-educated materials science community of the future.”


Recipient PhotoMaterials Processing & Manufacturing Division Scholarship
Douglas Kellis, Boise State University

“I am honored to be recognized by TMS with the Materials Processing & Manufacturing Division Scholarship. My accomplishments at Boise State University are a result of my hard work and dedication to my studies. I am fortunate to be part of a new program in materials science and engineering that places an emphasis on undergraduate education and research opportunities for the students. I owe a debt of thanks to the faculty that has given me an opportunity to be a part of the great program. I would like to thank the review committee for their time and effort, and TMS for making these scholarships possible.”


Recipient PhotoStructural Materials Division Scholarship
Paul Kamenski, University of Wisconsin

“Receiving this scholarship makes me feel reassured and supported in my pursuit of a materials science education. I love my journey studying materials science, and the fact that a professional materials society sees merit in my journey is very humbling. This scholarship eases my financial concerns and lets me focus on my passion, materials science.”
