Subaru of America, Inc.
GSA Corporate Sponsor
Subaru of America generously donates resources to help GSA further its mission in a variety of ways.
Scholarships
Subaru, in partnership with GSA, has generously funded a new scholarship program to benefit undergraduate minorities considering a degree in the geosciences. The Subaru Minority Student Scholarship Program provides $1,000 to one student at an accredited university or college in each of the six GSA Regional Sections as nominated by the GSA Campus Rep. The student also receives a free registration to the GSA Annual Meeting that year. The purpose of the award is to encourage minority students to continue studies in the geosciences as a possible degree choice.
The recipients of the 2008 Subaru Minority Student Scholarship are:
| Section | Recipient |
|---|---|
| Northeastern | Elluz K. Chong Qui from Towson University, MD |
| Southeastern | Adrianna Rajkumar from Appalachian State University, NC |
| North-Central | Nicholas Flores from Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne, IN |
| South-Central | Lauren Miller from Oklahoma State University, OK |
| Rocky Mountain | Carlos Montoya from New Mexico State University, NM |
| Cordilleran | Alfredo Velazquez Sanchez from San Francisco State University, CA |
Applications for the 2009 program will be sent to GSA Campus Reps in April. For questions or information, contact Chris McLelland, , +1-303-357-1082.

Women in Science Fund
Subaru funds the Subaru Outstanding Woman in Science Award a prestigious award highlighted at the GSA Annual Meeting each year.
Education and Outreach Programs
As a part of geocaching — an adventure game for Global Positioning System (GPS) users to cache and find locations with actual hidden items — an EarthCache™ adventure is treasure hunting for the caches that the Earth has stored. EarthCache sites do not use stored containers; their treasure is the lessons people learn about our planet when they visit the site.
Subaru also sponsors the Women in Geoscience Mentoring Event at the GSA Annual Meeting which addresses issues faced by women in geology.
GSA Annual Meetings
Subaru is traditionally the title sponsor for the GSA Annual Meeting. The exception is 2008 where GSA has organized a joint meeting in Houston along with several other societies.
Subaru also helps to support the Public Forum at the annual meeting. Topics are of interest to all ages of the general public.
Corporate Vehicles
Two vehicles are provided to GSA for company use. These vehicles are emblazoned with images and/or logos that project the Society mission while at the same time offering great visibility for Subaru. This year we've got two Foresters that are being used for GSA business and also offered for employee use to encourage carpooling. Click on photo for larger image.
