Chemistry scholarship for under-represented students
Deadline: March 1 Award $5,000

Don’t let historical challenges impact your contributions to the world of science.
February 1, 2023
In an era of phenomenal discoveries in chemical sciences and related fields, our nation is faced with the challenge of producing a generation of diverse scientific leaders who can tackle 21st-century challenges. Underrepresented (UR) students now make up a third of the college-age U.S. citizens, yet they earn about 18% of U.S. chemical science bachelor’s degrees and about 11% of chemistry PhDs. Graduation data shows that the current paradigm of moving students from undergraduate to graduate education fails to include many.
To apply, you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent U.S. resident, demonstrate high academic achievement in chemistry or science with a Grade Point Average 3.0, “B” or better.
