Undergraduate summer research scholarships The ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry is offering scholarships of $2000 for research during the summer of 1990 to introduce under­graduates to polymer science. It is the responsibility of the student to arrange for an academic adviser. The adviser and the student will then propose an appropriate re­search topic in the area of polymer science. Research will be performed at the adviser's institution or an ap­proved alternate site.

The program is financed by the Dow Chemical Co. Foundation, one of the industrial sponsors of the Di­vision of Polymer Chemistry. For application forms and further infor­mation, write Judith H. Pearce, Di­vision of Polymer Chemistry, Poly­technic University, 333 Jay St., Brooklyn, N.Y. 11201. The deadline for applications is Feb. 15. G
