Nancy Lorraine Jensen Memorial Scholarship

Description

The Nancy Lorraine Jensen Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by Dr. and Mrs. Arthur S. Jensen in memory of their remarkable daughter. By age 35, when she died suddenly, Nancy had already distinguished herself as an outstanding chemical engineer whose work resulted in important advances within the field of weather satellite photography. It is the wish of Dr. and Mrs. Jensen to encourage young women to enter the field of science and engineering by offering scholarships in Nancy's memory. The award will be no less than 50 percent for one term and no more than 100 percent of the tuition for one year. The recipient will be asked to provide verification of the amount of tuition charged to her by the institution. Applicants must continue their students in the United States. They must be accepted and have a major in chemistry, physics, or engineering (chemical, electrical or mechanical). Applicants must be current members of Sons of Norway or daughters or granddaughters of a current member with membership in effect for at least three years prior to the date on the application. Applicants must have an SAT score of at least 1200 with a math score of 600 or better or an ACT score of at least 26. Applicants must submit one letter from the department chair or advisor verifying the candidate's declared major is in the area of chemistry, physics or in chemical, electrical or mechanical engineering.
