Project SEED Programs

Summer I Program

The Summer I program is for first-time Project SEED participants. Students are given a research project in chemistry or a related field. They are supervised by a scientist-mentor and receive a fellowship award for 8 to 10 weeks.

Summer II Program

The Summer II program provides Summer I students with an additional summer of scientific research. Students either continue their research from the previous summer or begin a new project. Students receive a fellowship award for 8 to 10 weeks and may be eligible for a travel grant to present their research at ACS or other scientific meetings.

Project SEED Scholarships

High school seniors who have participated in a Project SEED summer program are eligible to apply for a one year, non-renewable college scholarship of up to $5,000. Scholarships are restricted to students who plan to major in a chemical science or engineering field, such as chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, materials science, or some other closely-related major.
