The purpose of the Beckman Scholars Program is to help
stimulate, encourage, and support research activities by talented, full-time
undergraduate students who are pursuing their studies at accredited four-year
colleges and universities located in the United States of America. These
research activities shall be centered in either chemistry, biochemistry, the
biological and medical sciences, or some interdisciplinary combination of these
subjects.

Awards: The amount of funding for the 2027 Beckman Scholars
Program is $26,000 per Scholar; $21,000 specifically for the Scholar, $4,800
for the Scholar’s Mentor and $200 for the Institutional Contact.

Universities/colleges will be eligible for one institutional
Beckman Scholar Award, which must be used over a three-year period. Each
institutional Beckman Scholar Award will fund a total of six Beckman Scholars
(with funding for student stipends, institutional contact funds, travel funds,
and mentor research supplies) extending over two summers and one academic year.
Awardee institutions will name two Scholars in each year of the three-year
institutional award term, for a total of six Scholars.
