Up to three scholarships valued at $1,000 each will be awarded at the 249th ACS National Meeting in Denver, CO, March 22 26, 2015. Student applicants must be enrolled at a certified college or university; postdoctoral fellows are also invited to apply. They will present a poster during the Welcoming Reception of the Division on Sunday evening at the National Meeting. Additionally, they will have the option to show their poster at the Sci-Mix session on Monday night. Abstracts for the poster must be submitted electronically through MAPS, the abstract submission system of ACS. To apply, please inform the Chair of the selection committee, Guenter Grethe at ggrethe---att.net, that you are applying for a scholarship. Submit your abstract at http://maps.acs.org using your ACS ID. If you do not have an ACS ID, follow the registration instructions and submit your abstract in the CINF program in the session CINF Scholarship for Scientific Excellence. MAPS will be open for abstract submissions from August 25, 2014, to October 17, 2014. Additionally, please send me a 2,000-word abstract in electronic form by January 31,2015, describing the work to be presented. Any questions related to applying for one of the scholarships should be directed to the same e-mail address. Winners will be chosen based on contents, presentation and relevance of the poster and they will be announced during the Sunday reception. The contents shall reflect upon the students work and describe research in the field of cheminformatics and related sciences.
