The UM Club of Denver is proud to support the Michigan students who call the Centennial State home. Every year, thanks to the generosity of our local alumni, our club awards a scholarship to an incoming freshman, returning undergrad, and graduate student. The scholarship program runs in the summer, typically kicking off in early June and wrapping up in August. Keep an eye on this webpage for the application and all the details.
If you have any questions about the application process, please contact our Scholarship Chair, Josh Kweller.

Thank you to the scholarship committee for providing me with this opportunity. As a Colorado native, I am grateful to have been recognized and supported by such a wonderful organization that gives back to the Michigan community of Colorado! I am currently a second-year Chemistry PhD student specializing in bioanalytical chemistry, focusing on immunoassay and biosensor development to advance infectious disease diagnostics. In the future, I hope to become a professor at a predominantly undergraduate institution where I can help educate the next generation of scientists. I also hope to continue working as a scientist in the diagnostics space to help marginalized communities across the world have access to personalized medical care. I look forward to continuing my doctoral journey at the University of Michigan, and am excited to see where my future takes me. As always, Go Blue!” |
