ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Graduate Student Fellowships

The American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Graduate Fellowship Program is designed 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 program has endeavored to be a model of the benefits of cooperation between the academic and industrial communities, with chemical companies employing PhD analytical chemists sponsoring the fellowships for outstanding analytical graduate students. The Graduate Fellowship Committee, comprised of representatives from the sponsoring companies and analytical faculty who do not supervise graduate students, evaluates applications using a rubric. The program offers four distinct fellowship awards: Agilent/ACS Analytical Graduate Fellowship (9-month, $27,000), Eli Lilly and Company/ACS Analytical Graduate Fellowship (9-month, $27,000), Eastman/ACS Analytical Summer Graduate Fellowship (3-month, $9,000), and Pittcon/ACS Analytical Summer Graduate Fellowship (3-month, $9,000). Applicants must demonstrate outstanding research ability and accomplishment, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications in analytical chemistry. Fellowships are normally awarded to students in their third or fourth years of graduate study when they have established a publication record.
