AKRON—The deadline to apply for the ACS Rubber Division's technical training award and scholarships is March 1.
The association has three $5,000 undergraduate scholarships for students pursuing a degree in rubber technology, polymer science or the chemical profession. Two of these are from the Rubber Division for students entering their junior or senior year for the fall to spring academic year. In addition, the former Connecticut Rubber Group offers a $5,000 Russell Mazzeo Memorial Undergraduate Scholarship.
Applicants for these scholarships may have a major area study in chemistry, physics, chemical or mechanical engineering, polymer science or any other technical discipline relevant to the rubber industry.
To apply for the scholarships, go to rubber.org/student-scholarships. There also is information at the site on which local rubber groups offer scholarships.
The Rubber Technology Training Award is for an individual already working in the rubber industry who is seeking additional education and opportunities for advancement. It provides a $1,250 stipend to industry employees to attend events at a spring or fall Rubber Division meeting in the year they are selected. Events include seminars/workshops, technical presentations, banquets, networking opportunities and expositions. A nomination letter from a rubber group is required for this award.
