Charles Gildersleeve Geography Scholarship

If Chuck didn’t create the construct of being student centered in all that we do as faculty, he certainly lived this notion with passion and professionalism each and every day. For many of us he was a mentor, model, and inspiration.... John Christensen, 2009 |
Geology
Steven J. White Fund
The Steven J. White Fund is a fund that has been built by the generosity of friends and alumni of the Geology Program. This fund is designed to help support undergraduate research in the geosciences. Majors can apply for support of their research (travel, equipment, analyses, etc.) by submitting a short proposal to their advisor. Proposals can be submitted at any time throughout the year.
Field Camp Scholarships
The Geology Program has funds to help support majors attending an appropriate field camp. To be eligible, students must be enrolled in an approved field course. Amounts are variable depending on the amount of money available and the number of applicants. Please see an advisor for more information. To be considered students should let any one of the faculty know in the spring semester as soon as they have been accepted to a field camp.
Yatkola-Edwards Scholarship
The Yatkola-Edwards Grants are awarded to graduate and undergraduate students researching the geology of Nebraska and surrounding areas. It is funded through the Nebraska Geological Society. Typically short proposals are due early spring semester. Please see an advisor for more information.

Other external scholarships and funding sources may also be available (e.g. from GSA), and students are encouraged to contact faculty to learn of possibilities.
