Professor Stoner was Chair of the ASU Department of Physics and Astronomy for ten years, a dedicated teacher, and a founding member of the Arizona Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers. The scholarship is supported by the income from funds donated by ASU Department of Physics faculty members in his memory.

ASU undergraduate physics majors and those who will soon become ASU physics majors are eligible to apply for the Richard G. Stoner Memorial Scholarship for Undergraduate Physics Majors. Recipients are selected primarily on the basis of probable success in the major and secondarily on financial need. All other things being equal, applicants planning careers that will include physics teaching at any level will be given preference. The amount of this award may fluctuate slightly from year to year, but is approximately $3000 ($1500 per semester for two semesters).

The deadline for the 2008-2009 academic year is: Monday, February 18, 2008.

Application must be RECEIVED by 5:00 p.m. on the day it is due, and include:

• General Application APPLY NOW!
• Transcripts of all relevant work (unofficial copies are acceptable)
• A brief statement, explaining why you should be considered for this scholarship - include any career plans.
• Copy of FAFSA or other proof of financial need
• A list of three persons who have agreed to submit letters of recommendation. These must be persons who are able to comment on the wisdom of giving you the scholarship. At least one letter must be from one of your current or former teachers. These confidential letters of recommendation are to be sent by the writer of the recommendation directly to the committee. It is the responsibility of the applicant to see that these letters are received by the deadline, either via U.S. mail or e-mail. Addresses are listed below. Letters of recommendation are not required from applicants who have a current Richard G. Stoner Memorial Scholarship.

Applications (and required materials and letters) received after the above date will not be considered.
