Description
The Priscilla Carney Jones Scholarship is offered by the American Chemical Society through its Women Chemists Committee. It supports female undergraduate majors in chemistry or related disciplines who are beginning their junior or senior years. Paul R. Jones established the scholarship in memory of his wife, whose difficulties as a female chemist early in her career motivated her wish to create this support for women studying chemistry.
The scholarship is a one-time award based on both financial need and scholarship. It helps recipients meet undergraduate educational expenses, with funds paid directly to their institution’s financial aid office for tuition, books, and laboratory fees. Applicants must have completed undergraduate research or plan to conduct it during their undergraduate years.
