Information for Current Recipients

Congratulations on receiving the ACS-Hach High School Chemistry Classroom Grant

ACS requires all recipients to submit a report on your accomplishments, challenges, activities, and overall experience resulting from your grant award. Especially with the year that we had, we would love to hear how you faced the unexpected and challenges.  

Not only is the final report a way to help you meet the conditions of the award, it is also your opportunity to share your experience with us and others who may be interested in applying in the future. Take a few moments and tell us about your experience.  

Due to the pandemic, we are waiving the resubmission rule to wait another year to apply for another ACS-Hach High School Chemistry Classroom Grant.  You may apply for a grant this year.  We are currently accepting applications through June 1, 2024.  Submission of a final report will still be required before applying for another grant. If you do not plan to apply for another grant, then the deadline to submit your report is June 30, 2024.  

Below are the guidelines for your final report.
