Albert H. Cooper Memorial Scholarship Award

In 1979 the a scholarship award was established to recognize Albert H. Cooper, Alpha Phi 1929, and his lifelong dedication to students and to chemical engineering. The award also serves as a memorial to his devotion to Alpha Chi Sigma. The award was established by Brother Cooper's widow, Louise K. Cooper.

Brother Cooper was a charter member of the Alpha Phi Chapter and served as its chapter advisor from 1970 to 1974. He also posthumously received the John R. Kuebler Award in 1974.

The award is granted annually to a senior who will receive a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. The senior also must exhibit exceptional merit and a high scholastic standing. The award is to be given to an active member of the Alpha Phi Chapter unless, in the opinion of the selection committee (composed of members of the faculty in the chemical engineering department at the university), no member of the Fraternity is reasonably eligible to receive the award in any given year. Then the award may be given to a non-member.
