Chemistry is all around us. And it’s particularly crucial for many of the products we enjoy. Paper products, cars, even food, all contain elements of chemical engineering. Plastic itself is a result of chemical engineering, as well as concrete that’s harder to crack. If you find yourself both drawn to the natural science of chemistry, and to understanding how we build the objects all around us, chemical engineering could be a great path for you. Here at DegreeQuery, we try to provide resources for students of every type, and chemical engineering is no different. Check out fifty of the top chemical engineer-related scholarships below!
