Karcher Undergraduate Scholarships
Students (incoming freshmen through seniors) majoring in Physics, Astronomy, Astrophysics,
or Engineering Physics at The University of Oklahoma are eligible to apply for the
J. Clarence Karcher Scholarship. The scholarship honors the late Dr. J. Clarence
Karcher, a 1916 graduate of the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy and the inventor
of reflection seismography. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit as evidenced
by grades and achievement test scores. [Current college students should have a GPA greater than 3.00.]
The scholarships are $1400 per academic year ($700 if the student has a general university-administered
academic scholarship in the amount of $1000 or more) and may be renewed through the fourth year of study
of physics, astronomy, astrophysics, or engineering physics for a maximum of eight semesters
providing a high level of academic performance is maintained. Return
the application by March 15th to be considered for
a scholarship for the next academic year.
