Dear Colleague:
As a reference letter writer for a past applicant
to the American Chemical Society's Nuclear and Radiochemistry Summer
Schools, 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
2017. 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,
J. David Robertson
National Director, ACS Summer Schools in Nuclear and Radiochemistry
