Professor Gregory S. Girolami Undergraduate Scholarship Fund

The Professor Gregory S. Girolami Undergraduate Scholarship Fund was established in 2020 by Dr. James Priepot (BS, 1999, Chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; MD, 2003, University of Illinois at Chicago) in honor of Prof. Gregory S. Girolami, to support undergraduate scholarships in Chemistry.

Professor Girolami received his B.S. degrees in chemistry and physics from the University of Texas at Austin and his Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley. Thereafter, he was a NATO postdoctoral fellow with Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson at Imperial College of Science and Technology. He has been on the Illinois faculty since 1983, where he currently serves as the William H. and Janet G. Lycan Professor.
