Scholarship Description
Purpose
The award, in the form of a fellowship, is given to assist a student during the summer months (June-September) in the pursuit of work in a field of interest to The Electrochemical Society.
Candidates Qualifications
The award shall be made without regard to sex, citizenship, race or financial need. It shall be made to a graduate student pursuing work between the degrees of B.S. and Ph. D. in a college or university, and who will continue his or her studies after the summer period. A previous holder of the award is eligible for reappointment. Qualifications shall not be waived in case no candidate qualifies for the award within any one calendar year; instead, the funds normally allotted shall then be added to the investment capital for the awards. It is intended that the recipient should feel he or she is uniquely an ECS Summer Fellow during the period of his or her fellowship; to this end, he or she is required to not hold other named fellowships.
Requirements
A brief resume or abstract of 100-150 words concerning work performed shall be submitted to the Society by the recipient at the end of the award period, suitable for publication in The Electrochemical Society Interface. Acknowledgment shall be made of an ECS Summer Fellowship Award (Weston, Fink, Richards, or Becket) in any formal publication based on research to which this award period contributed.
Selection of Candidates
The Chair of the Education Committee shall appoint a subcommittee consisting of five members and one Chair who are on the academic staff of a school of higher learning.

It is up to the sole judgment of the subcommittee to select candidates and to notify the Chair of the Education Committee of its selection by March 15.
