The Society of Chemical Industry (America Section) or SCI America is an independent learned society inspired by the creation of the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) in London in 1881. Originally known as the New York Section, it was formed in 1894 and officially renamed the America Section in 1919. SCI America awards several prizes in fields that support the chemical industry: the Perkin Medal, the Chemical Industry Medal and the Gordon E. Moore Medal. SCI America also awards scholarships to college students majoring in the chemical sciences through Scholarship America, as well as supports Black scholars in chemistry and chemical engineering through the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' FOSSI program.
