Donald Kiser Memorial Scholarship

Dr. Kiser's vocation in chemistry has led the Illinois-Iowa Section to honor his memory through the establishment of this scholarship.

Students who are:

• residents of one of the following counties in Illinois: Bureau, Carroll, Henderson, Henry, Jo Daviess, Mercer, Rock Island, Warren or Whiteside; in Iowa: Clinton, Dubuque, Jackson, Muscatine or Scott ,
• entering their freshman year of college in the fall of 2007 at an accredited post-secondary educational institution,
• pursuing studies in chemistry, biochemistry, or chemical engineering,
• and who demonstrate high level of academic achievement in science or related area, are encouraged to apply.

The 2008 scholarship is a one-year, merit based award in the amount of $750.00. St. Ambrose University will match this scholarship for the student's sophomore, junior and senior year if the recipient attends that university.

Please note that the deadline for submission is April 1, 2008.
