The scholarship began more than 20 years ago, when students and friends of Harold R. Snyder established an endowment fund in his honor to support undergraduate students with an interest in organic chemistry. Applicants must have completed two semesters of organic chemistry lecture and two chemistry-related laboratory courses and be committed to pursuing graduate studies in organic chemistry.
