Our department has a long history of generous alumni support for the geology program. All of the scholarships that we offer are the result of donations and consequently have been earmarked by donors for the geology program.
We are currently in the fund-raising stage for scholarships for the meteorology program but, unfortunately, are not able to offer any for meteorology students just now.
Undergraduate scholarships are available to eligible students who maintain a high grade point average and/or demonstrate need. Scholarships may not be available each year, depending on available funds. Most of our scholarships are made available through generous donations by our alumni.
