Eligibility
The Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse invites submissions for our 2026 Ken Zarker Award for Students and Early Career Professionals. The next deadline for applications is December 20th 2025 for conferences in 2026. Awards will be announced a few weeks after the application deadline.
The Ken Zarker Award supports the participation of students and early career professionals in attending a green chemistry, toxics use reduction, or alternative assessment conference or workshop that occurs between January 1 and December 31, 2026. These events can be state, regional, or national in scale; they must have a minimum of one session on green chemistry, alternatives assessment (AA), toxics use reduction, pollution prevention (P2), or safer alternatives.
The 2026 awards of $500 will help support expenses associated with participating in conferences or workshops. Applicants will be asked to provide estimated expenses, e.g., transportation, lodging, registration fees, and food. Applicants must be attending university and conferences in the United States.
