The Albert A. Bartlett Award in Physics was established in 2010 in honor of Professor Emeritus Al Bartlett. After earning a bachelor’s degree in physics from Colgate University, and a master’s and PhD in physics from Harvard University, Bartlett joined the faculty of the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï in 1950.

The award is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Physics who are enrolled in a program that leads toward certification for secondary school physics teaching through the School of Education.

Dr. Barbara Abraham Shrauner established this scholarship in 2018 to support physics or engineering physics undergraduates in their junior year with a preference given to students who are active in the Women in Physics community at ºÚÁϳԹÏ.Ìý

The Herbert E. Bowman Endowed Scholarship in Physics was established in 2020 to support high-achieving juniors and seniors in physics and engineering physics.

The Jesse Kramer Endowed Undergraduate Travel Award was established in 2017 to support undergraduate physics and engineering physics students traveling to present their research at conferences.Ìý

The John Wahr Endowed Memorial Award Fund was established in memory of Professor John M. Wahr. Professor Wahr was the first geophysicist to join the Department of Physics at the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï in 1983. He was a prolific scholar, teacher and mentor for over 30 years in the Department of Physics. Revered for his commitment and kindness, his dedication to the sciences, his family, the outdoors, and music left an enormous impact on his students and colleagues. Professor Wahr had an outstanding research career and made seminal contributions to many areas of geophysics and geodesy.

The award was established in 2022 for graduate and undergraduate students in the Department of Physics who express an interest in pursuing careers in physics of the earth, planets, atmospheres, oceans, or space.

The Leon and Mitzi Shands Endowed Scholarship in Physics was established in 2005 to provide scholarships for nontraditional physics and engineering physics students.Ìý

Provides general support to the PhET Interactive Simulations project, a suite of educational simulations with supporting materials and services at the ºÚÁϳԹÏ.
