The American Chemical Society’s Project SEED Scholarships support former SEED participants as they transition from high school to college and pursue a chemical-related field of scientific study. The awards help cover educational expenses through both freshman-year scholarships and renewable support extending into later undergraduate years.
Selection considers achievement in school, success in Project SEED, financial need, and intended scientific study. Applicants are assessed on how clearly they describe their SEED experience and future educational and career goals, with recommendations helping establish their interest in chemistry and potential as future scientists. Scholarship options include one-year nonrenewable awards and the Joseph D. Loconti, CIBA Specialty Chemicals, and Alfred R Bader renewable scholarships.
