TMS Scholarships

The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society awards more than $50,000 in cash and prizes each year to students studying metallurgy and materials science engineering. If eligible, you are invited to take part in these competitions and join the long list of talented students who entered previously and won.

J. Keith Brimacombe Presidential Scholarship

One $5,000 cash award scholarship will be made to an undergraduate student majoring in metallurgical engineering, materials science and engineering or minerals processing/extraction programs during the academic year. In addition, a travel stipend of $1,000 is also available for the recipient to attend the TMS Annual Meeting, to formally receive the scholarship.

One $2,000 cash award is available to an undergraduate student studying subjects in relation to synthesis and processing, structure, properties, and performance of electronic, photonic, magnetic and superconducting materials as well as materials used in packaging and interconnecting such materials in device structures. An additional $500 for travel expenses will be available to the recipient to attend the TMS Annual Meeting to accept the award.

Four $2,000 cash award scholarships are available to undergraduate students majoring in the extraction and processing of minerals, metals, and materials. Additionally, the scholarship recipients will be given the opportunity of selecting up to five EPD-sponsored conference proceedings or textbooks to be donated to the recipient's college or university library in his/her name. Up to $500 for travel expenses to the TMS Annual Meeting to accept the award will be given to each recipient.

Two $2,000 cash award scholarships are available to undergraduate and graduate students majoring in metallurgical and/or materials science and engineering with an emphasis on all aspects of the high-temperature, high-performance materials used in the gas turbine industry and all other applications.

Three $4,000 cash award scholarships are available to undergraduate students majoring in metallurgical and/or materials science and engineering with an emphasis on both traditional (aluminum, magnesium, beryllium, titanium, lithium, and other reactive metals) and emerging light metals (composites, laminates, etc.). Additionally, the scholarship recipients will be given the opportunity of selecting up to $300 in LMD-sponsored conference proceedings or textbooks to be donated to the recipient’s college or university library in his/her name and up to $400 in books for the award recipient. Up to $600.00 for travel expenses to the TMS Annual Meeting to accept the award will be given to each recipient.

Two $2,500 scholarships are available to undergraduate students majoring in metallurgical and/or materials science and engineering with an emphasis on the science and engineering of load-bearing materials, including studies into the nature of a material’s physical properties based upon its microstructure and operating environment. Additionally, the scholarship recipient will be given up to $500.00 for travel expenses to the TMS Annual Meeting to accept his/her award.
