 TRAVEL GRANT OPPORTUNITY FOR UNDERGRADUATES FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS
 We are pleased to inform you of a special program to bring undergraduate chemistry
students from underrepresented minorities to physical chemistry symposia at national ACS
meetings. The title of this program, “Awards to Undergraduates from Underrepresented
Minorities to Present PHYS Posters at ACS National Meetings," conveys its purpose.
 We have funds to cover the registration fee and travel/subsistence expenses (up to $600
per undergraduate student) for the meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana (8-12 September 2013)
or Dallas Texas (16-20 March 2014). Current total funding allows us to make six awards for
each of these meetings. The students will meet the officers of the PHYS Division, attend
technical symposia, and present their research at the Division poster session.
 The application is quite simple. It should contain a statement from the student about
her/his interest in attending a national ACS meeting, an indication of the research that
would be presented at the PHYS poster session on Wednesday evening, and a letter of
recommendation from two faculty members or senior supervisors. Please submit materials
electronically by June 1st, 2013 for the Indianapolis meeting to:
