Heh-Won Chang, PhD Fellowship in Green Chemistry
The Heh-Won Chang, PhD Fellowship in Green Chemistry supports graduate researchers developing greener chemical products and processes to reduce hazards to human health and the environment.
Funder: American Chemical Society
Due Dates: December 15, 2026 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Two one-time, non-renewable fellowships of $5,000 each annually
Summary: Supports graduate research in green chemistry and engineering that reduces hazards to people and the environment.
Key Information: Applicants must have at least one full year of graduate study remaining when the award is expected.
Description
The American Chemical Society’s Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI) offers this fellowship to full-time graduate students conducting research in green chemistry or engineering. Established in 2019 in honor of composites researcher Dr. Heh-Won Chang, it supports work on chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate hazardous substances and lessen impacts on human health and the environment.
Research must address at least one of three areas: greener synthetic pathways, greener reaction conditions, or the design of greener chemicals. These areas include approaches such as lower-hazard feedstocks, more efficient processes, alternatives to hazardous solvents, and products that are safer or more readily recycled or biodegraded.
