Departmental Scholarships
The Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences is fortunate enough to have generous alumni who initiate and contribute funds for the purpose of helping our students with some of the costs associated with their undergraduate education.
These Departmental Undergraduate Scholarships are available to all majors in our Earth Sciences and Environmental Geosciences programs.
- Call for applications comes out late-February or early-March.
- Application information includes a narrative on career goals, academic interests, relevant outside interests, financial impact in receiving an award, and copy of a current transcript. Many applications also require a letter of support/recommendation by an advisor. Details and links are laid out in the call for applications.
