Geoscience Scholars

至少有26名主修地球科学的学生将获得为期两年的奖学金，每年高达10，000美元。 学生奖学金的金额将取决于出勤成本和未满足的需求。符合条件的学科是大气科学、地理学、地质学、地球物理学和海洋学。奖学金将在新生、转学生和研究生之间大致平均分配。2008年将颁发给新生，2010年将颁发给大三学生。研究生奖学金将在这两年内颁发。预计大多数本科生奖学金每年将低于10，000美元，因为学者也有资格获得几个国家赞助的奖学金计划。总体而言，预计将提供超过52年的奖学金支持，该项目的重点将是增加地球科学的种族多样性，以更接近地反映整体机构的多样性。 将介绍学习社区的成员资格以及为学者提供的广泛活动和支助服务。

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.
