American Chemical Society-Scholars Program
The American Chemical Society sponsors a scholarship program designed to encourage Hispanic, African-American, and American Indian students to pursue undergraduate college degrees in the chemical sciences and chemical technology. The goal of the scholarship program is to aid in building an awareness of the value and rewards associated with careers in science and to assist students in acquiring the skills and credentials needed for success in these areas. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit and financial need to high school seniors planning a science preparatory program of study, and college students who are currently freshmen, sophomores, or juniors who are committed to the study of chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, or other chemically related fields such as environmental science, materials science, or toxicology and are interested in pursuing careers in one of these fields. Students interested in two-year chemical technology programs and careers in this field are also eligible. Students must have strong academic records and show an interest in, and potential for, careers in the chemical sciences. The amount of each individual award depends upon the availability of funding, the number of scholarships awarded, and evidence of financial need. Scholarships of up to $3,000 are awarded per year and are renewable.
