Description
The American Chemical Society (ACS) Student Communities Engagement Grant helps active student communities build stronger connections and increase unity within their groups. It supports outreach events, member engagement, career and professional development, and activities that grow the community. Eligible communities include ACS Student Chapters, International Student Chapters, and Graduate Student Organizations (GSOs).
The program favors meaningful student community activities and well-reasoned use of funds. Proposals should connect event goals to ACS core values, identify the intended audience and planners, and explain how success will be recognized. Activities involving an outside community should address that community’s role in planning. Applicants must also describe chemical safety considerations, potential hazards, and how the group will address them.
