>SCHOLARSHIPS FOR MINORITY STUDENTS IN THE SCIENCES
>
> The American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific
>society, is seeking applications from underrepresented minority
>students for its scholars program. The application deadline is
>February
>15, 2003.
> The ACS Scholars Program provides financial support to
>academically accomplished African American, Hispanic and Native
>American students in their pursuit of undergraduate studies in
>chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, environmental science
>and related disciplines in two- and four- year college and university
>programs.
> Up to 100 scholarships will be awarded to minority students
>seeking a career in chemistry. Freshmen can receive up to $2,500 per
>academic year. Sophomores, juniors and seniors are eligible for up to
>$3,000 per academic year.
> According to the Society's ChemCensus Report, relatively few
>minorities major in science-related disciplines at the college level.
>In 2000, for example, those of Hispanic heritage - 12.5 percent of the
>U.S. population - represented 2.6 percent of the chemistry work force;
>African Americans - almost 12 percent of the population - made up less
>than two percent of the chemical work force; and Native Americans -
>one
>percent of the population - made up less than one percent of the
>chemical work force.
> For more details on the ACS Scholars Program, including an
>online application form, please visit www.acs.org/scholars or
