Awards & Honors

There are a variety of awards that students may earn over the course of their stay at the University, based on outstanding academic performance, undergraduate research, and service activities. Students may also be recognized with University-wide graduation awards, such as the Alumni Association Award for the highest GPA in a college, or the Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical R & D Award in recognition of excellence in research.

Undergraduate Academic Awards include recognition of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry majors by the Philadelphia Section of the American Chemical Society for their potential in the future to make a contribution to the Chemical Sciences, based on their undergraduate academic performance, research and service activities. Students are also recognized for their contributions as teaching assistants in the chemistry laboratories.

Note 1: These awards do not require an application.
Note 2: All undergraduate students, including students in first professional degree programs such as Pharmacy, are eligible for the Lena DeLisser Matthews Prize.

Undergraduate Research Awards include the "Martin and Karen Gibbs' Prize in Biological Sciences and Chemistry" and the "Louis A. Reber Memorial Research Awards in Biochemistry, Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry".
