The BOC Sciences Chemistry Scholarship is a $1,000 award from BOC Sciences, a chemical and biochemical supplier. It is for full-time undergraduate, graduate and PhD students in chemistry-related fields at accredited universities. To apply, you write an essay or build a short presentation on one of three set topics. The official page says students anywhere in the world can apply for free.
Status: Open. The deadline is October 31, 2026. BOC Sciences says the 2026 programme is open and submissions end on October 31, 2026. The winner will be announced on November 15, 2026 (checked October 19, 2026).
What it covers
The award is $1,000, given once a year to the highest-rated students. BOC Sciences does not say how many winners it picks. The money is not paid to you directly. BOC Sciences sends the check to your university, which then releases it to you.
Who can apply
You can apply if you:

- If your university does not use a 4.0 GPA scale, ask your registrar to confirm your grade is at least a B average.
- Write the essay yourself and cite your sources. The page asks for original, grammatically correct work.
- Pick the topic closest to your own coursework or research so your writing is more detailed.
- Check that your university can receive and pass on a check from a foreign sponsor.
