Undergraduate level science students are encouraged to apply through the Chemistry Department at Brigham Young University.

About Glenda
The Glenda Harr Memorial Scholarship for Chemistry Research was established in 1999. In the summer of 1997, Glenda Harr died of cancer. The following summer, Josh Harr and Brooks Rohlen created this award in her memory, celebrating the life that she lived and contributing to the research she needed. Additionally, the focus of the scholarship, chemistry research, reflects Josh Harr's Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry and the tutoring that Josh so often gave to Brooks Rohlen in general chemistry. The award is presented annually through the Brigham Young University Chemistry Department.
