Nelson Science Scholarship (Incoming First-Year Scholarship)

In making the recommendations, the selection committee gives equal consideration to: a. academic achievement, especially in any three of the subjects Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, Mathematics, and Statistics b. leadership potential and c. involvement in sport, cultural, and/or community activities.

If, in any year, there are fewer candidates of sufficient merit than there are scholarships available, fewer scholarships are offered.
