Description
The American Chemical Society (ACS) offers this grant to help members of active ACS Student Chapters, International Student Chapters, and Graduate Student Organizations attend and participate in professional conferences. Meetings such as ACS Spring, Fall, and Regional Meetings are examples. Groups may seek support for one or more students attending a virtual meeting, a meeting within their group’s country, or a conference abroad.
The grant can cover registration fees, lodging, and transportation. ACS particularly encourages groups to have at least one member present a paper or poster, supporting students’ engagement with the professional chemistry community.
