In 2006, The Division of Chemical Education established an endowment to underwrite an Awards Program designed to recognize, encourage, and stimulate outstanding teachers of high school chemistry in the ten Regions of the American Chemical Society.
Nominees must be actively engaged in the teaching of chemistry or a chemical science in a high school (grades 9-12) on at least a half-time basis.
The Region Award consists of a $1,000.00 cash award and an engraved plaque. Travel expenses to the meeting at which the Award will be presented will be reimbursed. Award Guidelines, which include the required nomination forms, a Suggested Timeline, and endowment details are available below.
Visit the ACS Regional Meeting Portal for information about awards and to download award packets (scroll down the page and the awards are found on the left side).
