Courtesy of the Division of Chemical Education, a limited number of scholarships and travel awards are available to members of ACS Division of Chemistry Education to support participation, particularly for educators and early-career scholars:
- Travel support to Madison, WI (up to $500)
- Registration and housing scholarship covering meals and two nights of on-campus housing (approximately $250 value)
Some participants may receive both travel and registration/housing support; others may receive partial support. All scholarships winners will be responsible for paying for their cost upfront and will be reimbursed from the Division of Chemical Education after the conference.
Scholarships
Please note that scholarships are exclusive to DivCHED members. Not a member? Learn more here; Division membership is $25. Applications not funded in Round 1 will automatically be placed into the Round 2 competition.
If you plan to apply, you may choose “pay later” when registering for the conference. Applications received by April 15 are reviewed by the third week of April; later submissions are reviewed by May 15.
