[Geoldept] Scholarship Applications

[Theresa Tripp]

More opportunities to reduce you student debt! I don't know if these are specific to undergrad or grad students so you will have to look at them specifically to see if you qualify. These were forwarded to me by Colleen. If you have questions you can contact her.
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 five 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.
The Betty Skipp Research Award for Field Studies in the Rocky Mountains - Given in honor of Betty Skipp, to women M. S. or Ph. D. students for research with a significant component of original geological fieldwork in Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, or Wyoming.  If funds are sufficient, men may also be supported.
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. Please 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.
