The Electrochemical Society has been offering summer fellowships since early 1928. These awards were established to assist students during the summer months, June through September, in the pursuit of work in a field of interest to ECS. In order to qualify for these fellowships, one must be enrolled in a college or university in addition to being a member of ECS. Here is the complete list of candidate qualifications and award rules.
Up to four recipients will be selected annually to receive up to $5,000!
If you meet the requirements, apply for an ECS Summer Fellowship today! The deadline is January 15.
Candidate qualifications
The award shall be made without regard to sex, citizenship, race or financial need. It shall be made to a graduate student pursuing work between the degrees of BS and PhD in a college or university, who is a member of ECS and will continue his or her studies after the summer period. A previous holder of the award is eligible for reappointment. Qualifications shall not be waived in case no candidate qualifies for the award within any one calendar year; instead, the funds normally allotted shall then be added to the investment capital for the awards. It is intended that the recipient should feel he or she uniquely holds an ECS Summer Fellowship during the period of his or her fellowship; to this end, he or she is required to not hold other named fellowships.
Preference will be given to activities that will extend the scope of the applicant’s program of study such as tangential research topics or summer research at another institution.
Requirements
A brief resume or abstract of 100-150 words concerning work performed shall be submitted to the Society by the recipient at the end of the award period, suitable for publication in The Electrochemical Society Interface. Acknowledgment shall be made of an ECS Summer Fellowship in any formal publication based on research to which this award period contributed.
