American Chemical Society
Scholarships
The
American Chemical Society sponsors scholarship programs for qualified applicants
who want to enter the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, or chemical
engineering, and
students seeking a two-year degree in chemical technology. The programs are
designed to encourage African-American, Hispanic, and American Indian students
to pursue undergraduate college degrees in the chemical sciences and
chemical technology.
The goal of these
scholarship programs is to aid in building an awareness of the value and the
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. Students intending to pursue
careers in medicine are not eligible for scholarship awards.
100 Scholarships Awarded
Freshmen can receive up to $2,500 per academic year. Sophomore, Junior and Senior
scholarships will be given up to a maximum of $3,000 per year.
