Description:The Abraham and Anna Puller Global Chemistry Scholarships were established in 2014 with a generous gift to the NYU Department of Chemistry and the College of Arts and Science from Dr. Herbert I. Puller and Minnie Puller, in memory of Abraham and Anna Puller. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit to undergraduate majors in the Department of Chemistry who plan to study abroad as part of their course of study, either at the NYU Abu Dhabi or NYU Shanghai portal campuses or other study away sites offering a chemistry curriculum. The scholarship funds can be used for study abroad expenses and cost-of-living, including associated research internships before, during, or following a study abroad semester. Up to three awards will be made each semester.
Award: Up to $5,000 for each semester of study abroad, not to exceed $10,000 for any one recipient. Funds are limited and preference will go to students who have applied for study away scholarships and grants like, Study Away Scholarships from Global Merit Scholarship, Dean's Opportunity Fund for Study Away and Banco Santander Scholarships and received little or no aid from these sources.
Terms and Eligibility: An eligible candidate must be an NYU chemistry major who has enrolled in a study-abroad program.
Procedure: All applications must be submitted through the website at the following link, and include a CV or resume, transcript and one letter of recommendation from an NYU faculty member.
Application/Nomination Deadline: April 13 for the Fall semester abroad; November 16 for the following Spring semester abroad. A call for applications will be announced and posted on the Chemistry Department website approximately one month prior to the deadline date.
