ACS Scholarships help bright minority students with financial need believe they have it in themselves to aspire to achieve their dreams of chemistry degrees and careers. The American Chemical Society Scholars Program awards renewable scholarships of up to $5,000 to underrepresented minority students who want to enter the fields of chemistry or chemistry-related fields, such as environmental scienc

e, toxicology and chemical technology. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic record, career objective, financial need, leadership ability, participation in school activities, and community service. To date 2,390 students have received a scholarship through the ACS Scholars Program. African Americans comprise 52% of the recipient pool, Hispanic/Latinos represent 41%, and American Indian students at 7%. 1,144 students have graduated with a bachelor’s degree in a chemical science. Of those students, 47%* are known to have gone on to graduate school, and 36%* are known to have entered the chemical science workforce.
