The Kuiper-Arizona Laboratory for Astromaterials Analysis is pleased to administer the annual Hitachi Scholarship in Electron Microscopy. This scholarship is established by Hitachi High-Technologies as part of their partnership with University of Arizona. Funds in the amount of $5,000 per year have been provided and will be awarded equally to two graduate students generating cutting-edge research and publications in the area of electron microscopy. The award is not restricted to students in a particular department, but the research is expected to be conducted in materials science broadly defined.
Requirements:
- The student must have completed their second year of graduate studies
- Be in good standing in their program in order to be considered
- The research area of the recipient must include analytical electron microscopy
- The laboratory work must include the use of at least one of the Hitachi microscopes available in the KMICF
