NOMINATIONS •
DAC Graduate Fellowships
Applications are now being accepted for the 1996-97 Division of Analytical Chemistry Graduate Fellowships. Full-year awards of $14,000 are paid in nine monthly installments; summer awards of $4650 are also granted. Five full-year and six summer fellowships are expected to be awarded. The fellowships are open to full-time graduate students working toward a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry who will have completed their second year of graduate studies by the time their fellowship begins. The applicant's graduate adviser must be a member of the Division, and only one nomination per adviser will be accepted. Applicants for awards in previous years are encouraged to reapply. In addition to the application forms, nominees must submit letters of recommendation as well as undergraduate and graduate transcripts. Applications are available from Doris Warren, Dept. of Chemistry, Houston Baptist University, 7502 Fondren Rd., Houston, TX 77074. Completed applications are due Feb. 1.
