Scholarships
Caltech Scholarships are gifts awarded from institutional or endowed funds specifically established for the purpose of assisting undergraduates. The amount of the award depends entirely on demonstrated financial need, subject to available funds.
The Federal Pell Grant program is for undergraduate students who have not yet completed a baccalaureate degree. Eligible students may receive Federal Pell Grants for the period of time necessary to complete a first undergraduate baccalaureate degree. It is intended to be the “base” of the student’s financial aid package.
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) Program provides grant funds for undergraduate students who have not completed their first baccalaureate degree and who are financially in need of this grant in order to pursue their education.
Cal Grants are awarded to California residents by the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). California residents who apply for assistance from Caltech are also required to apply for a Cal Grant.

Requirements
Research & Technical Papers
Undergraduate research is emphasized, and students are encouraged, even in the freshman year, to participate in research with the faculty. In order to obtain a basic intellectual background, all students take courses in the fundamentals of chemical engineering through the junior year. During the junior and senior years, students can diversify into one of four tracks to achieve concentrated study in areas of chemical engineering. An optional senior thesis is a unique aspect of the chemical engineering program.
