The mission of the American Society for Composites (ASC) is to provide a communication forum for the engineering and scientific community in composite materials, and to provide the growth of knowledge from interdisciplinary engineering and scientific research in composite materials. In keeping with this mission, ASC is pleased to announce an annual graduate student research scholarship grant program for formally enrolled Ph.D. candidates in engineering or science whose dissertation research is focused on some aspect of composite materials. Two awards will be given, each consisting of a $1750 grant made to the student's university and advisor for the benefit of the student. Of each $1750 grant, $1000 is to support the student's research and $750 is to help the student attend the annual ASC Technical Conference and accept the award at the conference banquet. ASC will also grant to the student a waiver of the conference registration fee, free proceedings book, and banquet ticket. The ASC conference this year is on September 17-20, 2006 at University of Michigan-Dearborn, Dearborn, MI.  Applicants are invited to submit the form below, along with the supporting information, by May 1, 2006. Relatives and graduate student advisees of ASC Scholarship Committee members are not eligible to apply. Decisions will be announced by June 30, 2006.
