Earth Sciences: Scholarship Opportunities

The On To the Future (OTF) program supports students from diverse communities to attend GSA Connects by offering partial travel funding, meeting registration, one-year membership, mentorship, and special sessions with leadership during the meeting.

The goal of GSA’s Expanding Representation in Geosciences (ERG) Scholarship is to foster the success of diverse students and to encourage their persistence in GSA as Members, role models, and future leaders in the geosciences. Undergraduate students from groups who are underrepresented in the geosciences are encouraged to apply for a scholarship.

The Hollings Scholarship Program provides successful undergraduate applicants with awards that include academic assistance (up to $9,500 per year) for two years of full-time study and a 10-week, full-time paid ($700/week) internship at a NOAA facility during the summer.

Check out the many research grants, conference and travel grants, tuition scholarships, and more offered by the American Geophysical Union.

This scholarship is focused to help geoscience students from underrepresented communities bridge the challenging step of moving from an undergraduate degree in geosciences into a full-time graduate program. This scholarship provides a $5000 award to support a student of high potential through this critical point of their geoscience career.

The Wallace Scholarship supports one Master’s and one Doctoral female geoscience graduate student each year. This highly competitive award of $5000 is awarded based on academic merit and potential for a robust career in the geosciences.
