Spasov Family Annual Scholarship

Vassil A. Spasov 99 Ph.D. (chemical physics), a systems engineering manager, and Julia S.

Together, they wish to establish this annual scholarship to support graduate students in the College of Science in the areas of chemistry, physics and mathematics. Just as Julia benefited from a scholarship that helped their young family, the Spasovs wish to pay that kindness forward by supporting College of Science students.
