*What is the Chrysalis Scholarship?*

The Chrysalis Scholarship provides degree-completion funding for women 
geoscience graduate students whose education has been significantly 
interrupted by life circumstances. Awarded funds are intended to cover 
costs associated with completion of her thesis/dissertation, beyond what 
is traditionally covered by primary research funding.  Costs may include 
drafting expenses, child-care, defense travel, late-stage research and 
analyses, or anything necessary to assist a degree candidate during 
those critical, final days.

*Award Amount*

Up to $2,000 and one-year student membership with AWG

*Eligibility*

A qualified applicant must be:

·A graduate student who has had an interruption in her academic progress 
due to life circumstances.

·Approaching the completion of her geoscience degree.

·Someone who has contributed to, and will continue to contribute to, 
both the geosciences and the larger world community through her academic 
and personal strengths.

*Required Application Materials*

 1. A letter of application, in which the applicant describes her
    background, career goals and objectives, how the scholarship will be
    used, and the nature and length of the interruption to her education.
 2. Letters of reference from the applicant's thesis/dissertation
    advisor and another scientist of her choice. Both letters should
    specifically address the criteria in #1 above.

All application materials should be clearly labeled with the applicant's 
name, physical mailing address, and phone number.  Application 
materials, or questions about the Chrysalis Scholarship, should be sent 
to chrysalis at awg.org <mailto:chrysalis at awg.org>, with "Chrysalis

501(c)(3) organization, and the Chrysalis Scholarship Committee.
