Bachelor
Up to $1,000
This scholarship was established by a former Ball State student, Dr. Robert G. Reed and his wife, Carlene in honor of Professor Emeritus, Dr. Park Wiseman who was a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry from 1947 to 1982 and taught organic chemistry. He also was chair of the department from 1965 to 1969.
He was instrumental in setting up the 43-hour chemistry major program and getting its accreditation by the American Chemical Society. Perhaps just as important, he set the tone in the department that remains positive and focuses on helping students learn. Dr. Wiseman became emeritus faculty in 1982. Reed started the scholarship because Park had a positive influence on him.
