Early in April, the Chemistry Faculty will select and notify the scholarship finalists and alternates. The finalists will have until May 1st to accept and confirm their admission to the Institute. Alternates will then be notified if any positions remain open. The maximum number of O'Hara Institute scholarships is 20.

Important Points

1. The deadline for the submission of a completed application is April 1. Only students who have been accepted for admission to UD will be eligible to attend the Institute.
2. This is a competitive program. Only twenty scholarships are awarded. Submission of an application does not guarantee admission. Accepted students will be notified the first week in April and have until May 1 to accept the scholarship.
3. The O'Hara Scholarships are for new students who will attend the University of Dallas in the fall. Students receive credit for General Chemistry after the completion of at least one semester at the University of Dallas.
4. Scholarship students are required to live on-campus.

Research Students

In addition to the scholarship program for new freshmen, the O'Hara Institute provides a stipend, room and board for current U.D. students to work with a U.D. professor during the summer on a research project. If you are a U.D. student who is interested in doing research, talk with the professor with whom you wish to work and then submit an application form to Dr. Hendrickson.
