Description

The Peggy Dixon Two-Year Scholarship is intended for students transitioning from a two-year college into a physics bachelor's degree program. The scholarship will be awarded to students that have attended a two-year college, on the basis of scholarship and SPS participation. Applicants must have completed at least one semester or quarter of the introductory physics sequence. Two letters of recommendation from faculty members familiar with the applicant and his or her qualifications must be submitted. One of these letters must be from a current two-year physics faculty member. The recommenders should comment on the applicant in light of each of the three criteria: high scholarship performance both in physics and overall studies, the exhibition of the potential and intention for continued scholastic development in physics, and active participation in SPS programs. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
