Last Call: 2009 CINF Scholarship for Scientific Excellence Sponsored by FIZ CHEMIE Berlin

The scholarship program of the Division of Chemical Information (CINF) of the American Chemical Society (ACS) funded by FIZ Chemie Berlin is designed to reward graduate and postdoctoral students in chemical information and related sciences for scientific excellence and to foster their involvement in CINF.

Three scholarships valued at $1,000 each will be given out at the 238th ACS National Meeting in Washington, DC, August 16 – 20, 2009. Applicants have to be enrolled at a certified college or university. They have to present a poster during a poster session at the National Meeting.
