Grants and Awards Available to Purchase

The Bendix Corporation has made possible a new award program for Student Sections of the American Institute of Physics that will provide, on the basis of an annual competition, grants to support local Section activities. Proposals for projects submitted by the Sections will be reviewed by a panel of judges, which will select several considered as the most likely to strengthen the Student Sections program, and rank them in order of merit. Grants totaling $1400 per year, but not exceeding $500 for any individual project, will be made for the support of the three or four most meritorious proposals. Although each proposal will be required to have the endorsement of the Section's faculty advisor, its planning and writing will be the responsibility of the student members. This year's proposals must be submitted to the AIP by the end of October, and the awards will be announced early next year.
