Student Resources
Purpose
Working with the American Chemical Society, SCI America encourages young people to pursue careers in industry through its scholars program. SCI also supports the Future of STEM Scholars Initiative (FOSSI). Both programs give historically underrepresented chemistry and engineering students opportunities for summer internships at SCI America member companies.
About the SCI America Scholars Program
Exceptional juniors and seniors majoring in chemistry and chemical engineering can apply for a prestigious 10-week internship through the SCI America Scholars Program. SCI America Scholars are selected based on the strength of their application, statement of interest in an industrial internship, and letters of recommendation.
