The Environmental Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society annually offers two competitive graduate student awards. Both awards are designed to encourage and reward outstanding graduate students working towards degrees in environmental chemistry and engineering.

The first award is entitled the Environmental Chemistry Graduate Student Award. This award recognizes graduate students who are working in areas related to environmental chemistry. The award is based on student transcripts and record of research productivity, a brief discussion of their future goals, and a letter of recommendation from the faculty advisor. The awardees receive a one year subscription to Environmental Science and Technology and membership in the Environmental Division for one year. The awardees are publicized in EnvirofACS and Environmental Science and Technology. Up to 25 awards are given each year.
 

The second award is entitled the Graduate Student Paper Award. This award is presented to graduate students who submit the highest quality research papers. The research paper must be relevant to environmental chemistry, the student must be the first and major author, and the work must have been done while attending the student's current institution. This is a highly competitive award and the submitted papers are reviewed by the Student Awards Committee. The format to be followed is that of Environmental Science and Technology, except that the paper should be limited to 18 pages total, including figures and references. Each participant must also submit an ACS abstract of the paper. Award winners present their papers at the Fall American Chemical Society Meeting. They also receive a $1000 cash award at the Environmental Division Dinner. Up to 5 awards are granted each year. The Graduate Student Paper Award represents the highest award given to graduate students by the Division of Environmental Chemistry.
