Association of Women Geoscientists (AWG) Introduces New Field Camp Scholarship

Jan. 29, 2021

 

February 26 Update:

The Southern Arizona chapter of the Association for Women Geoscientists only needs to raise $160 more to reach their goal! To support his project, please contact  Julie Edwards at julieedwards@email.arizona.edu.


The Southern Arizona chapter of the Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG) has created a new scholarship to help cover the cost of field camp for undergraduate students in the Geosciences department. Fieldwork is often considered a fundamental part of geoscience education but the financial burden of field camp can be a barrier to participation in geosciences.

The national AWG Foundation has generously agreed to match donations up to $500. Please consider supporting this scholarship fund, as it has an immense impact on the experiential education of Geosciences students. If you are interested in supporting the Southern Arizona AWG Field Camp Scholarship, please contact AWG's fundraising chair Julie Edwards at julieedwards@email.arizona.edu.
