The Cincinnati Section of the American Chemical Society has funds available for the purpose of improving chemical education in the geographic area served by the local section (OH: Adams, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, Highland and Warren counties; KY: Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties; IN: Dearborn and Ohio counties). The Educational Grants Committee was established to make recommendations to the Cincinnati Section Board of Directors for the disbursement of these funds. The committee hereby invites applications for these grants from all members (teachers, students, industrial chemists, etc.) of the chemical community in the service area of the section.

Grants will be awarded for such activities as attending educational workshops, participation in summer research programs, innovative education programs, instructional equipment, etc.  Proposals, which incorporate the use of funds from other agencies or corporations, including the agency, or corporation, with which the applicant is affiliated, will be given preference in the selection process.  Funds will generally not be awarded for the purchase of common supplies or chemicals.  However, any application, which meets the basic criteria for which the fund was created, will be given serious consideration.  Grants will be, in most cases, limited to $1,500; exceptional proposals will be considered for larger amounts.  No school or organization will be allowed to receive more than one (1) award per calendar year.  Within one year from the time the grant is awarded, a report describing the use of the funds and the impact that the project had on improving chemical education is expected to be forwarded to the committee chairperson, Ms. Gloria Story.
