Alpha Chi Sigma Scholar Award
In July 1913, Alpha Chi Sigma initiated a scholarship recognition program "To emphasize the belief that to encourage scholarship is one way to strive for the advancement of chemistry." The award consists of a $2,500 prize, a gold scholarship key, and an inscribed certificate. The biography of the recipient also is featured in the awards issue of The Hexagon. This award is administered by the Alpha Chi Sigma Educational Foundation.

Alpha Chi Sigma Award in Chemical Engineering ResearchIn 1966, following extensive discussions between then-GPA James F. Miller, Nu 1937 (representing the Supreme Council), and the Awards Committee of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), the institute agreed to administer an award in chemical engineering research to be sponsored by Alpha Chi Sigma Fraternity and financed through the Alpha Chi Sigma Educational Foundation. An initial substantial contribution toward support of such an award had been made several years before by Carl F. Prutton, Gamma 1919.
