"I truly appreciate the commitment of TMS to education and to the materials science and engineering community. Through awards and incentives, publications, and symposiums, TMS continues to fulfill its mission to promote the science and engineering professions concerned with minerals, metals, and materials. This award is truly an honor."

"It is an honor to be selected as the TMS EMPMD Gilbert Chin Scholar. My membership in TMS has provided me with many opportunities and experiences that continue to motivate me as a student and as a researcher. I thank TMS for this prestigious recognition and the support of my education."

"Receiving this award proves that my academic pursuits are recognized and taken seriously by others in the field of metallurgical engineering. It also reinforces my belief that extractive and process metallurgy is the correct career path I should take. As a member of TMS, I am proud to be a part of a community of scholars and academics in materials science."

"Being selected a TMS scholarship recipient is an honor for my university and myself. This award reminds and encourages me to keep on working toward my goalsI can achieve! This scholarship will help open up new and exciting opportunities for my future."

"This award will help me in continuing my education. I plan on attending graduate school in the Fall 1999 and will use the money to cover the expenses in getting situated at my new school. I appreciate the TMS organization and my membership for providing the help."

"Both the TMS Light Metals Division scholarship and the TMS student membership have meant having the advantage of a professional society to guide and support me in my endeavors as a student of materials science. I am especially honored to have been chosen for the TMS LMD scholarship and will continue to strive for the best in all that I do."

"I am honored to be the recipient of the LMD award. I am grateful for the kind encouragement and support of TMS. For my part, I promise to continue my hard work to be deserving of your trust."

"To be selected as one of the two SMD scholars this year is undeniably the greatest award I have received in recognition of my academic pursuits. I am truly honored by the reflection this award has on both my work and my university, as it comes from a society with such notoriety and respect among professional materials scientists and engineers. To TMS and the Structural Materials Division, I extend my deepest thanks."

"Receiving this scholarship is an extreme honor for me. It proves that hard work and dedication do pay off in the end. It makes me very proud of the academic institution I attend, Purdue University, and the high caliber education I have received."

"I chose materials science and engineering as a major two years ago because it paralleled my interest in research and design. The research I was privileged to take part in with Professor Gary Olson was where my classroom education was applied, solidified, and confirmed. The TMS award is for me the first event in my undergraduate study that signals my achievement in the field of materials science and engineering. Thank you TMS and Professor Olson for gracing me with such an opportunity."

"It is a privilege to have my undergraduate research recognized by TMS. This paper is the culmination of research performed with Dr. Yang-Ki Hong and Dr. Wei Yeh."

"This prize certifies the excellent guidance that I got from Professor Sandhage and the support my colleagues and friends. Above all, I know it is the grace of God."

"Being recognized by TMS and the International Symposium on Superalloys with this award is a great honor to me. The scholarship has given me enormous encouragement on my continuing research in the materials field. I am very thankful to TMS and my advisor Professor John H. Perepezko."

"This TMS award means that I will be able to spend more time on my academics and less time working. This award means that I will be financially able to finish school. Finally, this award is a flag of achievement, that what I am doing at school is worthy of recognition."

"This award will help me to further my progress in the field of metals science and engineering. I wish to thank TMS for their support in this regard. I feel honored to have been chosen for the TMS International Symposium on Superalloys Scholarship."

"This award means alot to me because it shows that my hard work has paid off. I would like to thank TMS for this award as well as say thank you to my family for making me the person that I am."
