Through TMS, Material Advantage members and TMS Graduate Program members can apply for a number of scholarships funded by the TMS Foundation. For more information on each scholarship, and to learn how to apply, follow the link to the appropriate TMS Honors and Awards webpage.
Graduate Scholarships
The principal aim and purpose of this scholarship fund is to further the mineral industries by affording educational opportunities in the arts and sciences pertaining to those industries, particularly by assisting worthy students in the mining, metallurgical, and petroleum departments of leading colleges and universities which confer degrees in mineral engineering.
Available to full-time undergraduate and graduate students majoring in metallurgical and/or materials science and engineering with an emphasis on all aspects of the high-temperature, high-performance materials used in the gas turbine industry and all other applications.
Undergraduate Scholarships
Available to undergraduate students majoring in metallurgical engineering, materials science and engineering, or to undergraduate students with a significant interest in the materials area, this scholarship is supported by the generosity of Acta Materialia, Inc. and issued under the TMS Foundation.
Available to full-time undergraduate applicants in their sophomore or junior years, who are majoring in the extraction and processing of minerals, metals and materials.
Available to a full-time undergraduate student in their sophomore or junior year, who is studying subjects in relation to synthesis and processing, structure, properties, and performance of electronic, photonic, magnetic, and superconducting materials as well as materials used in packaging, and interconnecting such materials in device structures.
Available to full-time undergraduate and graduate students majoring in metallurgical and/or materials science and engineering with an emphasis on all aspects of the high-temperature, high-performance materials used in the gas turbine industry and all other applications.
Available to a full-time undergraduate student majoring in metallurgical engineering, materials science and engineering, or minerals processing/extraction programs.
Available to full-time undergraduate applicants in their sophomore or junior years, who are majoring in metallurgical and/or materials science and engineering with an emphasis on both traditional (aluminum, magnesium, beryllium, titanium, lithium, and other reactive metals) and emerging (composites, laminates, etc.) light metals.
Available to full-time undergraduate students in their sophomore or junior years, who are majoring in metallurgical and/or materials science and engineering with an emphasis on manufacturing from product design to production, integrating process control technology into manufacturing, and basic and applied research into key materials technologies that impact manufacturing processes.
Available to full-time undergraduate applicants in their sophomore or junior years, who are majoring in metallurgical and/or materials science and engineering with an emphasis on the science and engineering of load-bearing materials, including studies into the nature of a material’s physical properties based upon its microstructure and operating environment.
*These awards are eligible for the Battelle Student Scholarship Program.
About the Battelle Student Scholarship Program
Thanks to the generous support of Battelle and its chief executive officer and president, Jeffrey Wadsworth, the TMS Division Scholarships described above are doubled in value to the student recipients, while also opening doors to educational advancement. Each undergraduate division scholarship is matched, dollar for dollar, through the Battelle Matching Scholarship Program. Additionally, every student who receives a Battelle Matching Scholarship will also receive a Battelle Materials Graduate Student Award when the student matriculates to graduate school to continue studies in a materials–related field.
Additional Scholarship Opportunities
WAAIME Scholarships
Through TMS, undergraduate and graduate Material Advantage student members are eligible to apply for scholarships funded by WAAIME, a division of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration. The WAAIME Scholarship fund provides scholarships to students pursuing earth science degrees including mining, geological sciences, metallurgy, petroleum, mineral sciences, materials science and engineering, mineral economics, chemical engineering, and other related studies. The number and amount of scholarships awarded yearly are dictated by the funds available and by the financial needs of the applicants.
Material Advantage Partner Scholarships
Additional scholarship opportunities are available through the Material Advantage partner societies. For details on available opportunities, visit the Material Advantage web site.
