Description
The American Chemical Society (ACS) offers Starter Grants to two- and four-year undergraduate and graduate institutions forming or reactivating a Student Chapter, International Student Chapter, or Graduate Student Organization (GSO). The grant helps a new community grow and apply for an ACS charter.
ACS student communities bring students together for activities such as community service, chemistry-themed events, science demonstrations, study groups, and trips to technical meetings and local chemical companies. They are intended to enrich students’ educational experiences and help prepare them for careers.
