Each year, the National Association for Surface Finishing (NASF) and the AESF Foundation award financial scholarships to college juniors, seniors and graduate students who major in subjects related to surface science.

To be considered, applicants must:

  • Maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 as an undergraduate student or 3.3 as a graduate student
  • Attend an accredited university or college in the United States
  • Major or minor in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, material science and engineering, metallurgical engineering, environmental engineering or chemistry

Each applicant must submit the following:

  • A statement describing the applicant’s career objectives
  • Two letters of recommendation from professors at their college or university
  • A professional resume
  • Official undergraduate or graduate transcript
  • An undergraduate or graduate application

The AESF Foundation judges applicants on the following major factors: academic record, personal statement, working experience and extracurricular activities. The selection process also includes — but is not limited to — career interest in surface finishing, academic achievement, motivation and potential.

Scholarship winners will be awarded $1,500. The deadline to apply for the scholarship is Feb. 25, 2023.

Filled-out applications, personal statements, recommendation letters, resumes and transcripts should be included in one email to info@nasf.org. Questions regarding the AESF Scholarship Program and its process can also be directed to the same email.
