The Gary B. Multanen/CM Magazine Scholarship

CM Magazine proudly presents the Gary B. Multanen/CM Magazine Scholarship for students in composite-related studies. The winner will receive $1,000 towards school, have their research published in CM, and receive an all expense paid trip to COMPOSITES & POLYCON 2009.

Qualifications:

  1. To be eligible, a student must be registered full-time at an accredited college or university, and must be in good academic standing. Undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students are encouraged to apply.
  2. Applicants must be pursuing a degree in engineering, research, or other composites-based curriculum. Art students working with composite materials in restoration or sculpture also are encouraged to apply.
  3. All research submissions must be composite-related, part of a specific class or curriculum, and imply practical/commercial or aesthetic applications. The focus here is on the pragmatic, not the theoretical.
  4. All applicants must reside in the United States of America.

Application Procedure:

  1. Application forms for the scholarship are available here or by request at 703.525.0511, cmmag@acmanet.org or CM Magazine Scholarship; 1010 N. Glebe Rd., Suite 450; Arlington, VA 22201.

  3. Candidates must also submit the following with their applications:
    • Composites-related research in the form of a report or paper (no less than 1,500 words), which focuses on some unique, creative, and significant aspect of research that the student is authoring, co-authoring or heavily participating in. The report must not be overly commercial in promoting a particular product or proprietary process, but should defer, as much as possible when these references occur, to generic terms. The submission also must imply practical aesthetic applications.
    • A reference from the professor related to or overseeing research.
    • A college transcript (photocopies are acceptable).
  4. Mail all of the above to: CM Magazine Scholarship; 1010 N. Glebe Rd., Suite 450; Arlington, VA 22201.
