American Chemical Society project Seed

During the summer, students work in the laboratory doing hands-on research guided by a scientist-mentor. Project SEED is for the student from an economically disadvantaged background with an annual family income below $32,000 or does not exceed 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for family size. Exceptions can be made for incomes of up to $44,000, depending on family size and circumstances.

Students who have not graduated from high school are eligible for the Summer I program, and those returning for a second summer of research may participate in the Summer II program.

Location - The student should be a commuting student, except in those cases where the institution (college, university, industry, or government lab) can provide room and board and appropriate supervision at no cost to the student.

Stipends & Duration of Program - Summer I students should receive a minimum of $2,275 and Summer II students a minimum of $2,600. Both programs expect at least eight weeks of participation at approximately 40 hours per week.
