Our Apprentice Prizes recognise outstanding contributions made by apprentices working in the chemical sciences.

• Up to three prizes are available
• Winners receive £1000, a trophy and a certificate, to be presented at a suitable opportunity
  
  
• Both RSC Members and non-members can nominate for this prize.
• Nominees may NOT nominate themselves.
• The prize is open to nominees based in the UK or Ireland only.
• Nominees can be completing any level of apprenticeship in the chemical sciences, from school equivalent level through to postgraduate equivalent level.
• Nominees should either be completing their apprenticeship, or have completed their apprenticeship within the last 12 months at the closing date of nominations (14 January).
• We particularly encourage nominations of disabled people, those who work part-time, or whose career has spanned a break for any reason – for example, a period of parental or adoption leave, caring responsibilities, long-term illness, family commitments, or other circumstances. We understand that these can impact a nominee’s career in different ways, and encourage nominators to use the space provided on the nomination form to explain the nature and impact of the nominees’ individual circumstances (see 'Guidelines for Nominators' for further details).
