2013 PROGRAM GIVING AWAY $6,000 SCHOLARSHIPS TO MINORITY WOMEN PURSUING CAREERS IN SCIENCE

-- Deadline to apply is June 30, 2013 --

  •  The AWG Minority Scholarship Program, sponsored by the Association for Women Geoscientists, encourages young minority women to pursue an education and later a career in the geosciences. It provides financial aid and matches the student with a mentor in the same field who will offer guidance and support. This exchange will enhance the students experience and provide a view of the world ahead.

The applicant must be a woman who is African-American, Hispanic, or Native American. She must also be a full-time student who is pursuing an undergraduate degree in the geosciences (geology, geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology, meteorology, physical oceanography, planetary geology, or earth science education) at an accredited college or university (high school students who will enter one of these fields during their freshman year may also apply). In addition, she must be a contributor to the larger world community through her academic and personal strengths.

The award amounts are up to $6,000 and the deadline to apply is June 30, 2013.
