To support chemistry in the classroom, the Hach Scientific Foundation is working with

have at least a 3.0 high school GPA. Applicants must also enter into one of the UW
College of Education secondary science options that provides state certification to
teach high school chemistry. Applicants may also pursue dual majors in the UW Chemistry
Department (B. A. or B. S. in chemistry) and the UW College of Education (secondary
science teaching education).
The recipient of the scholarship will receive $6,000 per year for five years of undergraduate
study, provided he or she maintains at least a 3.0 GPA and remains an education major
with a focus on chemistry. Specific details of the scholarship will be provided at
