The Horace L. Newkirk Assistantship

Each year an outstanding physics student is selected by the faculty to work with a member of the department faculty or staff at a position which is both educational to the student and useful to the department.

The Bryant and Diane Hichwa Summer Research Awards

Each summer, research stipends will be available to outstanding students, who are selected by the department faculty to work in a position that is both educational to the student and useful to the department.
