Edward J. Kikta, Jr. Fund

The Edward J. Kikta, Jr. Fund was established in 2000 to support graduate students in chemistry at the University at Buffalo. This scholarship is specifically designated for graduate students pursuing studies in chemistry who demonstrate financial need. Domestic students are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to demonstrate financial need, while international students must submit a financial need statement through the general application. Applicants are automatically considered for this award based on their completed General Application through the University at Buffalo Scholarship Portal. The fund recognizes the importance of supporting graduate education in chemistry and helps reduce financial barriers for qualified students pursuing advanced degrees in this field.
