Loconti Scholar
In 2019, the Joseph D. Loconti Foundation made a generous donation to provide enduring support for students through summer research fellowships and college scholarships. A portion of the funding was used to establish the Joseph D. Loconti Fund for ACS Project SEED. Each year one student is selected to receive a four- year renewable scholarship to continue their studies in the chemical sciences.

CIBA Specialty Chemicals Scholars
CIBA Specialty Chemicals was a leading global chemical company acquired by BASF in 2008. The Ciba Foundation made a generous legacy gift to the American Chemical Society to establish the Ciba Specialty Chemicals Scholars Endowment, a new component added to the Project SEED college scholarship program. This gift expanded the one-year Project SEED college scholarships to a three-year renewable scholarship.
