The number of fellowships awarded may vary from year to year, depending on the number of sponsoring companies. The purposes of these Fellowships are to encourage basic research in the field of analytical chemistry, to promote the growth of analytical chemistry in academic institutions and industry, and to provide recognition of future leaders in the field of analytical chemistry. The Graduate Fellowship Committee of the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry, which evaluates the applications and makes the fellowship awards, is comprised of representatives from the sponsoring companies, analytical faculty from undergraduate institutions and scientists from national laboratories.
Fellowships are available.
Academic-year Fellowships provide for nine months of graduate study and research in analytical chemistry at any ACS accredited institution of the appointee's choice. The Fellowship may not be accepted concurrently with any other external fellowship. Because the purpose of the Fellowship is to provide opportunity for research, the holder will not engage in outside work for added compensation during the period of the Fellowship. Academic-year award recipients are paid in nine monthly installments, beginning either on June 1 or September 1 of the year awarded, at the recipient's option. Tuition is not to be paid out of the grant, nor is the university permitted to deduct any administrative costs.
