Established in 2020 to reduce financial barriers to higher education and enhance diversity in the chemical industry workforce, FOSSI provides $40,000 scholarships to students studying preferred STEM degrees at HBCUs.

成立於2020年,旨在降低高等教育的財務壁壘,增加化工行業勞動力的多樣性,FOSSI爲在HBCUs攻讀優選STEm學位的學生提供每年4萬美元的獎學金。

Mark Vergnano, Founding Chair of FOSSI, and Ashley Christopher, President of the HBCU Week Foundation, received the award on behalf of FOSSI.

FOSSI的創始主席Mark Vergnano和HBCU周基金會總裁Ashley Christopher代表FOSSI接受了這個獎項。
