I am writing to request your assistance in identifying outstanding
undergraduates who might be interested in, and qualified for, the program. As
you already know, we are seeking curious and highly motivated students with
strong science backgrounds. If selected, these students receive an all-expenses
paid opportunity to complete a 6 week summer course in Nuclear and
Radiochemistry in either CA or NY. They also earn hours (tuition paid) of
undergraduate chemistry credit through either San Jose State University or
SUNY-Stony Brook. Selected students also receive a stipend of
$4,000.
An announcement for the Nuclear and Radiochemistry Summer
Schools that can be posted is attached to this request. It describes the
application procedure and the background we hope applicants will have when
applying. This information and an on-line application form can also be found on
the web at:
The deadline for applications is February 1, 2014. Please
distribute this announcement to your undergraduate students and encourage them
to consider this unique opportunity! If you or your students have any questions
about the ACS sponsored program, please do not hesitate to contact me using the
information below.
Thanks, in advance, for your assistance.
Sincerely yours,
