It’s as Easy as Sending an Email

In only a few minutes, you can introduce the resources of the world’s largest scientific society to science teachers, schools and students in your community. Chemistry Ambassadors makes it simple with sample email messages and listings of the many resources ACS has for educators. Download the sample messages below to introduce ACS resources to key education audiences and send them to an educator near you.

This fall is a great time to send a letter to high school science teachers and guidance counselors letting them know about the ACS Scholars Program, which provides funding for minority students who study chemistry-related fields.
