Description
The American Chemical Society (ACS) offers this grant to help its student communities build stronger connections and increase group unity. It supports community outreach events, member engagement, career and professional development, and activities that grow the group. Active ACS Student Chapters, International Student Chapters, and Graduate Student Organizations can apply.
The program favors meaningful student community activities backed by a well-reasoned use of funds. Proposals address the event’s goals, intended audience, connection to ACS core values, and measures of success. Planning also considers who will organize the activity, the roles of outside community representatives when relevant, and chemical safety hazards and how they will be addressed.
