UPCOMING GSA PROGRAM DEADLINES

2016 STUDENT RESEARCH GRANTS

Submission deadline: 1 Feb. 2016 at 5 p.m. MST

GSA is proud to offer research grants to its highly qualified student members. The primary role of the
GSA research grants program is to provide partial support of master’s and doctoral thesis research in the
geological sciences for graduate students enrolled in universities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and
Central America. In 2015, US$723,570 was awarded to 391 graduate students (784 students applied), with
an average grant of US$1,851.

Students may receive a total of two GSA graduate student grants in their entire academic career, regardless
of what program currently enrolled in. The maximum award per grant is US$2,500. Students may be eligible
for specialized awards, in which case the total funding awarded could be greater than US$2,500.

The GSA student research grant application process is available online only; no paper applications or
letters will be accepted. Apply online at www.geosociety.org/grants/gradgrants.htm. If you have questions,
please call +1-303-357-1060, or e-mail awards@geosociety.org.
