Geoscience Scholars

至少26名主修其中一门地球科学的学生将获得为期两年的奖学金，每年最高可达1万美元。学生奖学金的数额将取决于出勤费用和未满足的需求。符合条件的学科包括大气科学、地理学、地质学、地球物理学和海洋学。奖学金将大致平均分配给大一新生、转学大三学生和研究生。奖项将于2008年颁发给新生；给2010年的三年级学生。研究生奖学金将在这两年颁发。预计大多数本科生奖学金每年将少于10,000美元，因为学者也有资格获得几个国家资助的奖学金项目。总的来说，预计将颁发超过52年的奖学金支持。该项目的一个重点将是增加地球科学领域的种族多样性，以便更接近地反映整个机构的多样性。学习社区的成员资格以及为学者提供的广泛活动和支持服务将成为特色。

A minimum of twenty-six students majoring in one of the geosciences will receivetwo-year scholarships of up to $10,000 annually. The amount of a student's scholarship will depend upon the Cost of Attendance and the unmet need. Eligible disciplines are atmospheric sciences, geography, geology, geophysics, and oceanography. The scholarships will be divided approximately equally among freshmen, transferring juniors and graduate students. Awards will be made to the freshmen cohort in 2008; to the juniors in 2010. Graduate student awards will be made in both years. It is anticipated that most undergraduate awards will be less than $10,000 annually because the scholars are also eligible for several State sponsored scholarship programs. Overall, it is expected that in excess of fifty-two years of scholarship support will be awarded.An emphasis of the project will be on increasing the ethnic diversity in the geosciences to more nearly reflect the overall institutional diversity. Membership in learning communities and the availability of a broad range of activities and support services for the scholars will be featured.
