The Kenneth G. Hancock Memorial Award provides national recognition and honor for outstanding student contributions to furthering the goals of green chemistry and engineering through research and/or studies. This includes but is not limited to the research, development, and implementation of fundamental and innovative chemical technologies that incorporate the principles of green chemistry into chemical design, manufacture, and use, and that have the potential to be utilized in achieving national pollution prevention goals. Applicants must be undergraduate and graduate students who must demonstrate the relevance of their studies and/or research to green chemistry and/or engineering. This award is open to U.S. or international applicants. Applications must describe studies or research in which the student has participated that address the scope and objectives of green and sustainable chemistry and/or engineering. The activity should address one or more principles of green and sustainable chemistry and/or engineering and, more specifically, address one or more of the following three green chemistry focus areas: the use of greener synthetic pathways; the use of greener reaction conditions; and the design of greener chemicals. A letter of nomination from the applicant's faculty advisor, supervisor, or department chair must be submitted. A brief statement of financial need for travel support from the applicant's advisor, supervisor, or department chair is also required. Please visit the award's website for more information.
