The ACS Bridge Program was developed to increase the number of students from underrepresented (UR) racial and ethnic groups obtaining a Ph.D. in the chemical sciences. ACS-BP assists UR students with getting into and succeeding in graduate school.
As an ACS Bridge Fellow, students enroll in a one- to two-year Bridge Experience that provides research experience, advanced coursework, mentoring, and coaching to prepare a graduate school application.
Students who have not applied to graduate school, or who have applied but were not accepted, may be offered:
• A free common application that will be shared with participating departments
• Resources to strengthen applications
• Connections to faculty and mentors
• Networking opportunities with other ACS-BP students
The deadline to apply is March 31, 2022. Learn more
The ACS Bridge Project is generously supported by the US National Science Foundation through grant NSF-1834545 and by the Genentech Foundation. The ACS Bridge Project is in collaboration with the Inclusive Graduate Education Network.
