“National Chemistry Week
not only achieves its goal of
educating the public, but it
brings industrial, academic and
government chemists together
to convey a positive image of
chemistry as the science that
can change our lives.”

“When I became an ACS Scholar, it opened many doors. Professionally, it helped me learn that there were researchers out there from whom I can learn and get the chance to know. Academically, it encouraged me to keep up my good grades and pursue a higher education, which I did. I completed my bachelor’s degree in chemistry and went on to get a Ph.D., which I completed in 2006. The ACS Scholars Program has been there for me along the way.”
