The Heh-Won Chang, PhD Fellowship in Green Chemistry supports graduate research in sustainable chemistry or engineering, funded by the American Chemical Society.
Funder: American Chemical Society
Due Dates: November 3, 2025 | November 2, 2026
Funding Amounts: Two one-time awards of $5,000 each for full-time graduate students; non-renewable.
Summary: Supports graduate students conducting research in green chemistry or engineering to advance sustainable chemical solutions.
The fellowship, established by the American Chemical Society (ACS) in honor of Dr. Heh-Won Chang, is designed to support full-time graduate students (U.S. or international) who are conducting research in green chemistry or green engineering. The award aims to empower students whose projects advance the design of safer chemicals, greener synthetic pathways, or more sustainable reaction conditions, ultimately reducing hazardous substances and promoting sustainability in chemical research. Recipients may use the funds for any academic purpose, including research, travel, or living expenses, while pursuing innovative, environmentally conscious research. The fellowship celebrates Dr. Chang’s legacy and supports the next generation of scientists committed to improving human health and the environment through chemistry.
