vide partial support of master’s and doctoral thesis research in the

the program awarded US$812,000 to 392 graduate students
(~52% of the 748 who applied), with an average grant of US$2,071.
GSA strongly encourages women, minorities, persons with

geosciences to participate fully in this program. Apply online

Submissions must be completed by 3 Feb. 2020, at 5 p.m. MST.
