With your support, the American Chemical Society made great progress towards its educational goals in 2016. The ACS Scholars Program is now halfway to establishing a $5 million endowment that will encourage diversity in the chemical sciences well into the future. The ACS Board of Directors reauthorized the American Association of Chemistry Teachers (AACT), recognizing the importance of this unique community in supporting classroom teaching and preparing students for the opportunities that lie ahead.

As we turn to the future, it is worth noting that Project SEED will reach its 50th anniversary in 2018—a milestone in our efforts to provide economically disadvantaged students with opportunities for hands-on research and to introduce a passion for chemistry early on in their lives.

ACS is proud to lead in chemical education. We provide trusted guidance to policy makers and classroom teachers alike and offer resources to encourage promising students at all levels. We strive to ensure that future generations of

professionals are prepared to improve people’s lives through the transforming power of chemistry, and that non-scientists, too, are able to interpret the scientific information that affects their everyday lives.

Project SEED, ACS Scholars and AACT are part of a broad portfolio of teaching and learning resources that are the foundation of the Society’s support for chemistry education. However, there is so much more that ACS can do. I welcome your transformative ideas as we continue our invaluable work to build a strong future for the chemical profession.

To those who made annual or pledged gifts or included ACS in your wills to ensure the future of these programs, thank you again for sharing ACS’s vision of excellence in education and for partnering with us to support students and teachers of chemistry. Together, we have truly made a difference.

Sincerely yours,

Thomas M. Connelly, Jr., Ph.D. ACS Executive Director & CEO

PROJECT SEED

The Project SEED summer research program offers bright, economically disadvantaged high school students the opportunity to experience chemistry research first-hand.

Students entering their junior or senior year of high school are matched with mentors in academic, industrial and governmental laboratories where they receive individualized attention and guidance on conducting research and entering a career in science. Students participate in research, write reports, and present their findings at scientific meetings, helping them gain essential skills and further insights into chemistry careers.

82% of students come from families with incomes of $35,000 or less

89% indicate that Project SEED helped them decide to continue their education beyond high school

414 students participated in Project SEED in 2016

67% of students in 2016 said the program led them to consider pursuing a career in science

“ Project SEED exposed me to a very academic college

environment, and now I’m even more excited to hopefully

attend college next year as a first generation college

student majoring in biochemistry. After getting a glimpse

of scientific research, and organic synthesis specifically,

my career goal is now to become a scientific researcher

who designs and synthesizes new drugs to aid disease

treatment and prevention.”—Yingqi (Linda) Lin, Project SEED Yingqi (Linda) Lin

ACS SCHOLARSPROGRAMThe ACS Scholars Program awards renewable scholarships to underrepresented minority students who wish to enter chemistry- related fields. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement, career objective, financial need, leadership ability, participation in school activities and community service. High school seniors and college freshmen, sophomores or juniors are eligible to apply.

To help scholarship winners achieve success, ACS seeks mentors from college and university faculty, industry, minority scientific organizations and other institutions. ACS Scholars are encouraged to participate in undergraduate research and internships and to attend ACS National Meetings.

Gender of 2016 Scholars: 56% female, 43% male

270 program alumni have received Ph.D. degrees, 40 of whom are now in academic positions

355 undergraduates received scholarships in the 2016–2017 academic year

185 colleges and universities are included in the current cohort

“I am honored to be

one of the recipients

of the American

Chemical Society

Scholarship. Thanks to

your generous

support I am the

first in my family to

attend college.”

ADVANCING CHEMISTRY TEACHING

ACS provides a broad portfolio of teaching and learning resources to support teachers of chemistry and foster scientific curiosity among youth. This includes:

�� The American Association of Chemistry Teachers, offering teaching and learning resources to K-12 educators nationwide

�� ChemClubs, a unique opportunity for high school students to experience chemistry beyond the classroom

�� Science Coaches, a partnership between volunteer professional scientists and K-12 educators

871 ACS-Hachscholarships have been awarded to support future chemistry teachers in all 50 states

60+ professionaldevelopment workshops and presentations for K-12 teachers provided in person and online

“Most of the complete online curricula [like ACS’s] cost money. I have no budget. I spent hours of my own time each week searching to find free activities and worksheets, but inevitably, they did not align with my textbook.

“I was so frustrated and felt like I was failing my students. However, I didn’t see a way out. One night I found your free textbooks and I felt incredible relief!

“Thanks to you, I feel like I can educate my students and do my best for them.”

—Anonymous K-12 special education teacher
