Description
The Kaufman CALPHAD Scholarship is an educational award administered by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), with support from CALPHAD Inc. and the TMS Foundation. It honors Dr. Larry Kaufman’s contributions to computational thermodynamics and its applications by providing financial assistance to an undergraduate studying metallurgical engineering, materials science and engineering, or minerals processing/extraction.
The program selects one recipient annually and supports education rather than a specified research project. Alongside the scholarship, the recipient receives assistance to attend the TMS Annual Meeting, where the award is formally presented. Selection considers coursework and experience relevant to materials science and engineering, academic achievement, activities, leadership, the personal statement, and recommendations.
