The Division of Environmental Chemistry sponsors up to 25 annual awards to full-time graduate students currently enrolled in an United States educational institution in chemistry, environmental engineering or other programs emphasizing environmental chemistry. These students must have completed one full year of graduate study at their current institution by the date of announcement of the awards (January or February).

The award is based upon students’ records in course work, evidence of research productivity and on statements from graduate faculty advisers. Primary emphasis will be given to the students’ potential for future contributions as professionals in environmental chemistry. The application for the award is submitted by the graduate students’ faculty advisor who may nominate only a single student. The student must be a member of the American Chemical Society and the student or advisor must be a member of the Division of Environmental Chemistry.
Graduate students who receive the award will receive a one year membership in the Division of Environmental Chemistry and a cash award.

For further information contact: Todd A. Anderson, The Institute of Environmental and Human Health, Texas Tech University, P.O. Box 41163, Lubbock, TX 79409-1163, 806-885-4549 ext 231, Fax 806-885-4577, todd.anderson@tiehh.ttu.edu.

 

Previous Winners of the Graduate Student Award

 

 

ACS ENVR /SETAC NA Student Exchange Program {click for link to SETAC website}

The Division awards one travel grant annually in the amount of $1000 to allow a graduate student member to attend the Annual Meeting of SETAC North America. 

To apply, graduate students must submit Abstracts for the Spring ACS meeting and indicate their desire to attend the SETAC NA Annual Meeting (November of each year).  

Have the advisor of the graduate student write a recommendation letter and indicate that the graduate student will receive some type of financial support from their research group or institution to attend the meeting if the award is received.

Before applying, graduate students are encouraged to check the exact meeting date and their schedules to insure they can attend if selected. Abstracts must be submitted normally.  Graduate students and advisors must send application materials to George Cobb (george.cobb@tiehh.ttu.edu) by the Spring deadline for abstract submission to ENVR.

Award recipient and all applicants will be notified by 15 May of the committee decision.  This will allow time for the recipient to submit an abstract for the SETAC NA Meeting by their deadline in early June.
