Current Campaign: Hilton Smith Fund

The Hilton A. Smith Chemistry Fellowship was founded in 1999 by Dr. Edgar L. McDaniel, Jr. ( BS Chem 1953 UT, Ph. D Chemistry 1956 UT), and his wife Katherine Taylor ( BA Business Admin 1950 UT, MS Business AdmiN 1953 UT). 

This fund was named after Dr. Hilton Smith, Dr. McDaniel's major advisor, mentor and trusted friend over the years.  During his studies under Dr. Smith, McDaniel was awarded a National Science Foundation Predoctoral Fellowship.  Dr. McDaniel retired in 1993 from Eastman Kodak at Kingsport, TN as Director of External Product development.

The Fellowship has as its objective providing a supplement to Ph. D. doctoral students to enhance the base stipend.
