Colorado Scientific Society Student Research Grants

The Colorado Scientific Society, a nonprofit earth-science organization, invites students enrolled at an accredited college or university to apply for research grants to be awarded in late April 2012. Grants are generally awarded to students in a Masters or Ph.D. program, however applications from undergraduates conducting senior-level research will also be considered and are encouraged.

General grant categories:

•  Field-oriented research on geology, geochemistry, and geophysics of the Rocky Mountain region
•  Engineering geology research (with no restriction on geographic area of interest)
•  Studies on the Heart Mountain fault in northwestern Wyoming or a Quaternary study with no geographic restriction

The grant amounts actually awarded may vary depending on the number of applicants, however typical amounts from past years have ranged from $600 to $1200.

Students can obtain application forms and grant policy and procedure information directly from the Society website at http://www.coloscisoc.org/grants/grants.html

Completed applications must be emailed or post-marked by March 30, 2012.

Applications should be submitted via email to:

Applications sent via regular mail are permitted only as a last resort:
