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 of the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry, which is comprised of representatives from the sponsoring companies and analytical faculty who do not supervise graduate students, evaluate the applications, in part using a rubric, and make the following fellowship awards:
- Agilent/ACS Analytical Graduate Fellowship (9-month, $25,000)
- Eli Lilly and Company/ACS Analytical Graduate Fellowship (9-month, $25,000)
- Thermo Scientific/ACS Analytical Graduate Fellowship (9-month, $25,000)
- Eastman/ACS Analytical Summer Graduate Fellowship (3-month, $8300)
- Pittcon/ACS Analytical Summer Graduate Fellowship (3-month, $8300)
The deadline for receipt of application materials is Feb. 10, 2025.
The applicant must be a full-time student working toward a PhD and must have completed the second year of graduate study by the time the fellowship period begins. Analytical chemistry must be a central part of the applicant’s PhD thesis. The applicant’s research supervisor must be a member of the American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry. For the Agilent fellowship, preference will be given to students working in the area of mass spectrometry, broadly defined.
Only one nomination per research supervisor will be accepted. Nine-month fellowships may begin on June 1, July 1, August 1 or September 1, so applicants for nine-month fellowships must not complete their thesis research before March 1 of the academic year in which they have received an award. Summer Fellowships begin on June 1 of the calendar year, therefore applicants for summer fellowships must not have completed their thesis research before September 1 of a given calendar year.
