Crystallography Scholarship Awards

To encourage promising graduate students to pursue crystallographically-oriented research, the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) has established a Crystallography Scholarship Fund. Convinced of the beneficial impact of the scholarships, the ICDD has solicited funds from private and industrial sectors tosupport this program. The ICDD has awarded twenty-four scholarships since 1992, five in 1998.

Applicants should be graduate students seeking a degree with major interest in crystallography. There are no restrictions on country, race, age or sex.
