Are you a Division of Chemical Education member (a subdivision of ACS)? If not, consider joining at https://www.divched.org/join .
2YC3 is a subdivision of DivCHED, and DivCHED actively supports 2YC3. For the past two years, the DivCHED Special Projects committee has awarded $5000 in matching travel grants to help with travel costs to attend 2YC3 Conferences. ( https://tinyurl.com/divched20262yc3 )
You do not need to be an ACS member to become a member of DivCHED. More information is found in the first link. If you have not been a member of DivCHED before, the first year is free, and then it is $25 per year. With this minimal amount, you become eligible for other opportunities for professional development (2026 BCCE scholarships in addition to 2YC3 travel grants!) and for a faculty/educational staff-centric voice at ACS.
