Once enrolled, Schrödinger Online Courses include temporary access to Schrödinger software and support for hands-on exercises and case studies for the duration of the session.
No, scholarship awards are course-specific and you may only apply for one scholarship per application. If you have completed a course and wish to apply for another scholarship a new application will be required. To ensure our scholarship opportunities have a wide reach and benefit as many applicants as possible we are typically unable to provide repeat scholarships for an individual within a 12 month period. We recommend that you spend time reviewing the course overviews to decide which course best fits your learning goals and describing this in your application; concurrent applications for multiple or overlapping course sessions will not be considered.
We recommend applying for research funding at your institution, or looking for independent small grants to fund your registration.
While you are welcome to submit multiple scholarship applications, only one scholarship award can be provided at a time, with preference given to applicants that have not previously received financial assistance. To ensure our scholarship opportunities have a wide reach and benefit as many applicants as possible we are typically unable to provide repeat scholarships for an individual within a 12 month period.
Scholarship recipients will be notified via email approximately two weeks after the quarterly deadline with award information and details on how to complete course registration. Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously received a Schrödinger scholarship.
We have some flexibility for providing scholarships to applicants. By choosing the months you are able to take the course, we are able to best work with you to find a start date that works with your schedule.
We recommend that you spend time reviewing the course overviews to decide which course best fits your learning goals, and then describe how you feel your chosen course will benefit you in your application. Please also describe why the course contents will be useful to you, be sure to tell us why you have financial need for a scholarship, including any evidence of how you have sought out and exhausted other funding options. An up-to-date, signed, letter of support from your academic advisor is required to ensure that you meet the student or postdoctoral researcher criteria for a Schrödinger scholarship. This letter should be written by your advisor, and should include their name, institution, signature, and the date signed. The letter of support should detail why your advisor feels this course would be valuable for you, and may reiterate why you have financial need for a scholarship. If applying for a scholarship for one of our advanced courses (for which previous Maestro use is a requirement), be sure to additionally have your academic advisor describe how you have previously used the software in their letter of support.
