Geosciences Alumni Scholarship

The Geosciences Alumni Scholarship (GAS) is an annual scholarship based on the contributions of ASU Geoscience alumni and friends of the geological science. This scholarship is intended for junior or senior undergraduate students and first or second year graduate students majoring in the geosciences. The GAS is not strictly an academic scholarship; student need is considered as well as special opportunities for travel to conferences, etc. Awards are intended to help cover travel to a scientific conference, tuition and fees (books, etc.) or to help defray the cost of field camp. The selection committee consists of the donors. If circumstances permit, more than one applicant will be chosen to receive an award.  

Application materials include:

1) Cover letter that includes: - Short bio (who you are and why you are studying Geosciences) - Statement of intended use of money - ASU id number

2) Maximum of two letters of recommendation - Students new to ASU are encouraged to have a letter sent from previous institutions/professors. - Letters are to be emailed directly from the faculty member to David Palais (committee chairperson) at: dave.palais@waters.netsle.com

3) Copy of transcripts (unofficial is OK) * To expedite the selection process we prefer electronic copies of all materials.   Electronic materials should be emailed to: David Palais, Nestle Waters North America Inc. Dave.palais@waters.nestle.com   Hard copies of any materials may be mailed to: David Palais, Ph.D., C.HG. Nestle Waters North America Inc. 2051 Hilltop Drive, #A-20 Redding, CA 96002
