The Department of Chemistry hosts a banquet each year to honor the recipients of these awards. View pictures from these events below.
Each spring since 1988, nominations are sought from the Department of Chemistry faculty for an outstanding chemistry alumnus or alumna. The selection has then been made by a subcommittee of the Undergraduate Council. The awardee is invited to attend the annual Scholarship and Awards Banquet, and make a presentation to those in attendance.
The outstanding B.S. and B.A. Chemistry majors have been recognized at an annual Scholarship and Awards Banquet, since the first event on April 18, 1988. The selection is based upon the students grade point average and the recommendations of a faculty committee.
This fund was established to provide scholarships to undergraduate students majoring in the medical field, preferably medical technology students, who are in their junior or senior year.
This is an award that was endowed by Professor Emeritus Terence C. Owen, with the intended purpose of recognizing and encouraging outstanding research by undergraduates in the Department of Chemistry. A cash award is presented annually at the Department of Chemistry Scholarship and Awards Banquet in April. The recipient is selected from those nominated by faculty members, and the decision is made by members of the Undergraduate Council.
This Award is given annually to a financially deserving, scholastically superior undergraduate.
This scholarship, provided by the Clear Springs Land Company, has been used to recognize the outstanding posters of undergraduate research students at the Raymond Castle Research Conference.

This Award (currently $500) comes from the interest on an endowment created by Nicholas G Alexiou, M.D., M.P.H., and will be awarded annually starting in 2002 to a deserving graduate student doing research in Environmental Chemistry. Applicants should provide their advisor's name, their educational background, as well as graduate courses taken, GPA, summary of their research, and the significance of their research to Environmental Chemistry. Four copies should be provided to the Department Graduate Studies office by 5 p.m. of the March deadline date.
The George Bursa Award ($1000), supported by an endowment as a memorial to Mrs. Barbara B. Martin's father, is given annually to a deserving graduate student in Chemistry, who has demonstrated notable professional dedication and consideration for others. Applications should be submitted to the Department Graduate Studies Office by 5 p.m. on the deadline date.
The Ashford Graduate Fellowship ($1000) is funded by an endowment established by the first full Professor of Chemistry at USF, Dr. Theodore Askounes Ashford, and his wife, Venette Askounes Ashford. Eligible graduate students can apply and are recommended by their advisor and other faculty members. The selection is made by a sub-committee of the Graduate Council, and is based on several criteria, including GPA, achievements, progress, good citizenship, and the understanding that the student will be present for at least one more academic year, to serve as an example to others. Applications should be submitted to the Department Graduate Studies Office by 5 p.m. on the deadline date.
The award is supported by the interest from an endowment established in December, 2007 in honor of Mrs. Martin. The purpose of the award is to provide support to a graduate student in chemistry who expresses an interest in an academic career following the awarding of an earned doctorate. Preference may be given to female applicants owing to their under- representation in this field. If the fellowship is not awarded in a given year, the monies will be rolled over to the next year or until an award can be made to a suitable candidate. Applications should be submitted to the Department Graduate Studies Office by 5 p.m. on the deadline date.
Further details will be announced at a later time.
