Project SEED-one of the American Chemical Society programs-is designed to help economically disadvantaged young people succeed in their studies. Specific activities include a summer program that provides high school students (usually between the junior and senior years) with an opportunity to work with a colleae researcher for a summer. and with the distribution of chemistry reference materials and equipment to educational institutions.

Project SEED Project SEED, the American Chemical Society's social action program, supports economically disadvantaged high school students for 10-weekworkllearning experiences in academic chemistry laboratories during the summer between their junior and senior years. During the past summer approximately 130 students participated in the pmgram a t a total of 69 colleges and universities across the country. The Project SEED experience acquaints youth with scientifically trained persons who become role mudels for them. The students receive training, counseling,and a small stipend. The research project benefits from the work of the SEED student. College faculty members and staff working with the student learn more about the problems of the disadvantaged and have the opportunity t o deal with solutions to these problems. A recent non-ACS evaluation of the program found that SEED has had positive results on the careers of past partieipants. The experience was rated especially beneficial in improving participant self-confidence,increasing personal skills and abilities, and providing exposure t o advanced scientific study. The investigators concluded that SEED'S "hands-on" experience was an invaluable source of academic and career guidance far participants. Janet Boese Staff Associate. Project SEED
