With the academic year in full swing, now is a perfect time to share scholarship and internship opportunities with educators and students in your community. Applications are now being accepted for the following awards:
 

• ACS Scholars: ACS offers renewable scholarships to underrepresented minority students who want to enter chemistry or related fields.

Applications will be due March 1, 2014.
• SCI Scholars: Exceptional college sophomores and juniors majoring in chemistry and chemical engineering can apply for a prestigious 10-week internship through the SCI Scholars Program.
