Recognizing a lack of diversity throughout the STEM workforce, in November of 2020, the American Chemistry Council, AIChE - American Institute of Chemical Engineers, The Chemours Company and HBCU WEEK FOUNDATION, INC. partnered to establish the Future of STEM Scholars Initiative (FOSSI). This national industry-wide program seeks to increase the number of underrepresented professionals in the STEM workforce by providing scholarships to students pursuing preferred STEM degrees at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
