Geoscience
Scholarships for Minority Students
from the American Geological Institute
Applications Due March 1, 2005 (Transcripts will be accepted until
March 15, 2005)
For the past 33 years, the American Geological Institute has awarded
scholarships to geoscience majors who are members of ethnic minority
groups (Black, Hispanic, or Native American). The goal for this
program is to maintain and increase the number of underrepresented
ethnic-minority students in the geosciences through financial support
and mentoring opportunities. Recipients of AGI Minority Geoscience
Scholarships are provided with financial awards ranging from $250
to $4,000.
Undergraduate and Graduate students are eligible to apply.
Applicants must:
• be a U.S. Citizen
• be enrolled as a full-time student at an accredited college
or university in the U.S.
• have declared a major in a geoscience department, such as
geology, geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology, meteorology, oceanography,
planetary geology and earth science education
• be a member of an ethnic minority, including Black, Hispanic,
or Native American (American Indian, Eskimo, Hawaiian, or Samoan).
Applicants submit a completed application, which can be downloaded
at http://www.agiweb.org/mpp/index.html
Deadline for all application materials: March 1, 2005 (transcripts
will be accepted until March 15, 2005).
