Superalloys Scholarship

Two $2,000 scholarships with up to $250 for each awardee in travel reimbursement, are available to PhD students majoring in metallurgical and/or materials science and engineering with an emphasis on all aspects of superalloys. In addition to the traditional focus areas of alloy development, processing, mechanical behavior, coatings, and environmental effects, studies can also involve technologies that contribute to improving manufacturability, affordability, life prediction, and performance of superalloys; enrolled in a program on classical topics related to superalloys processing/properties. Award recipients must travel to and attend the conference in order to receive the travel funds associated with this award.

Awards are presented in conjunction with the Materials Science and Technology Conference with the exception of years when an International Symposium on Superalloys is held. In those years, awards will be presented at the International Symposium on Superalloys. Award recipients receive a complimentary student registration to attend and receive their award.

Current and previous applicants should participate in the International Symposium on Superalloys conference and Materials Science and Technology Conference by submitting an abstract.

Award recipients are also encouraged to participate in the International Symposium on Superalloys, the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition, and/or the European Symposium on Superalloys and their Applications.

This scholarship is funded by the TMS Foundation and issued under the generosity of the TMS International Symposium on Superalloys Committee.
