[Geoldept] FW: Call for scholarship applications

[Theresa Tripp]

Hey All- Just passing this on. I have no idea if these scholarships are for undergrads and grads so I suggest that you look into them if you need the $$$.

Cheers,

Subject: Call for scholarship applications

Happy New Year!

This is a reminder that the deadline for Tobacco Root Geological Society scholarship applications is February 15. Information about the scholarships and how to apply can be found at http://www.trgs.org/scholar.htm.

There are now four different scholarships:

TRGS Field Scholarship(s) will go to a student working on a field-based project in the northern Rocky Mountains. Preference will be given to mapping projects in Montana, Idaho, and northern Wyoming. Based in part on need, the scholarship is expected to be used for field expenses.

The Harrison Scholarship(s) - In memory of Jack Harrison and made possible by a generous endowment from Jack to the TRGS, awards will go to students working on any project involving Precambrian rocks. Based in part on need, this award can only be used for field expenses.

The Michael Thompson Foster Scholarship(s) - Given in memory of Michael Thompson Foster, to students, researchers, or explorationists who best exemplify the prospector ethic. Criteria are a demonstrated interest and ability in mineral exploration, field research, or economic pursuits which advance our knowledge of mineral commodities and public commitment to responsible mining. Supported by generous grants from Rob Foster and additional donations.

The M. Dean Kleinkopf Scholarship(s) - Given in memory of Dean Kleinkopf, for geophysical and geologic investigations in the northern Rocky Mountains. Supported by an initial grant from Nancy Kleinkopf and additional donations.
Applicants need not specify which of these they are applying for - our scholarship committee will determine which scholarship is most appropriate. Decisions are usually made by late March or early April.

Applications should be sent electronically to me - note that files should be no more than 3Mb and applications are limited to 2 pages. Questions can also be directed to me at celliott at mtech.edu<mailto:celliott at mtech.edu> .

Please share this reminder with anyone who might be interested.
