Dr. Donald Kiser's vocation and interest in chemistry and his leadership and involvement in the American Chemical Society at the National and Section levels has led the Illinois-Iowa Section to honor his memory through the establishment of this scholarship. It will be awarded annually by the Illinois-Iowa Section of the American Chemical Society. The scholarship is awarded to a full-time sophomore student at an accredited college or university within the Illinois-Iowa Section majoring in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, or a chemically-related science who demonstrates high academic achievement in chemistry and will be returning in their junior year to the same institution.
