The Michael A. Wells Undergraduate Research Endowment in Biological Sciences has been established by Mrs. Mary A. Wells and family and friends to memorialize the professional accomplishments of her late husband, Michael A. Wells, biochemistry professor and researcher for 40 years at the University of Arizona.
It is the desire of the family and friends of Professor Wells to memorialize his leadership and many contributions to undergraduate students in life sciences research. While Mike was widely recognized as an accomplished scientist and academician, as demonstrated by his appointment as Regents Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, his greatest joy was in watching young people become infected with the excitement and joy of scientific research.
Most scholarships are due in Spring. To learn more about UArizona Scholarships visit: ScholarshipUniverse.
