Earth Sciences Summer Field Camp Stipend Undergraduate

A limited number of merit-based stipends may be awarded each year from the Department of Earth Sciences to undergraduate Earth Sciences majors to offset the cost of summer field camp if funds are available. These are given as reimbursements of partial expenses, after the course is successfully completed. Typical award size: $500 to $1000. There is no dedicated fund to support this activity, so the ability of the department to make an award in a given year depends on the status of the department budget.
