Programme Overview

Research is at the heart of the study of chemistry and biochemistry. That's why it's surprising that most undergraduate chemistry curricula have only a small research component, mainly reserved for seniors. What is not surprising is that WPI, one of the most innovative universities in the nation, has changed the way students learn by creating the Chemistry and Biochemistry Scholars Program (CBSP).

Benefits

Students selected for the CBSP will receive:

• special academic advising.
• early research opportunities.
• opportunities to attend on-campus chemistry colloquia and special meetings with the guest lecturers.  
• a CBSP scholarship, which will vary in amounts, but typically ranges between $10,000 and $25,000, and are renewable for four years.

All CBSP research is conducted on campus. We provide our students with easy access to our laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment. As a Chemistry or Biochemistry Scholar, you may find yourself using the following instrumentation in one or more of our many new or newly renovated laboratories:

• Fluorescence lifetime spectrometer
• Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometers
• Capillary Electrophoresis
• High-field NMR spectrometer
• High pressure liquid chromatography
• DNA Thermocyclers (PCR)
• UV/Visible Spectrophotometers
• Gas chromatographs

Requirements

Applicants indicating chemistry or biochemistry as their intended area of study will automatically be considered for the program. Selection by the Scholarship Committee will be based upon the applicant's academic performance in high school, leadership, extracurricular involvement and community service. In addition to the scholars program, each CBSP Scholar receives an academic merit-based scholarship. Scholarship amounts will vary, but typically range between $10,000 and $25,000, and are renewable for four years.

Families may be eligible for much more aid, based on financial need. To be considered for the scholarship, simply apply as a chemistry or biochemistry major. No special application is required.
