The America Chemical Society?s Green Chemistry Institute® is offering a new travel award for excellent students in high school, undergraduate, or graduate programs.

The Ciba Travel Awards in Green Chemistry is an annual award. The award sponsors the participation of students (high school, undergraduate, and graduate students) in an American Chemical Society (ACS) technical meeting, conference or training program, having a significant green chemistry or sustainability component, to expand the students? education in green chemistry. The awards are funded by interest income from the Ciba Green Chemistry Student Endowment that was established in 2009. The award amount is based on estimated travel expenses, up to $2000.

To apply, students need to send a story related to interest in green chemistry, reducing or eliminating toxic waste into the environment, or a past experience and the student could win a student travel award to attend an event hosted by the American Chemical Society.
