GSA J. David Lowell Field Camp
        Scholarships

          The importance of field schools to practicing geologists is
        unquestionable, yet the opportunities to experience field geology
        are dwindling. J. David Lowell Field Camp Scholarships give
        undergraduate students the opportunity to experience the wonder
        of the geosciences and learn something new about the world. These
        scholarships will provide US$2,000 to undergraduate students so
        they can attend the summer field camp of their choice. Awards will
        be based on diversity, economic/financial need, and merit.
          Students and recent graduates must submit an online application
        form, two letters of recommendation, and a cover letter by 27 March.
