Eligibility Criteria

• The student applicant must be a full-time student working toward a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry and must have completed the the second year of graduate study by the time the fellowship period begins. (Such eligibility assures that the applicant is enrolled in a department of chemistry with a Ph.D. program in analytical chemistry and that his/her dissertation research is being supervised by an analytical chemistry faculty member.)
  
  
• The applicant's research supervisor must be a member of the American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry. Only one nomination per research supervisor will be accepted.
  
  
• Student applicants must demonstrate outstanding research ability and accomplishment, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications in analytical chemistry. Consequently, the Fellowships are normally awarded to students in their third or fourth years of graduate study when they have established a publication record.
  
  
• Summer Fellowships must begin on June 1, 2010 and Nine-month Fellowships may begin on June 1, July 1, or August 1 or September 1, 2010. Therefore:
  
  Applicants for Summer 2010 Fellowships must not have completed their thesis research before September 1, 2010.
  
  Applicants for 2010-2011 Nine-month Fellowships must not have completed their thesis reseach before March 1, 2011.
  
  
• Applicants for awards in previous years are encouraged to reapply. Previous nine-month fellowship recipients are not eligible for a second award.
