Scholarships
Astrobiology Opportunities for Graduate Students
As one of NASA's ten Astrobiology teams, ASU/SESE now offers a variety of astrobiology opportunities for graduates.
ASU Scholarships in Earth and Space Exploration
The ASU Scholarships in Earth and Space Exploration was established to recognize outstanding Arizona high school seniors interested in pursuing a B.S. in Earth and Space Exploration.
First Generation Scholarships
A first-generation college student means that neither parent earned a four-year college/university degree. Need-based. Applications due in mid-June.
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.
Graduate College Conference Travel Grants
Conference Travel Grants reimburse graduate students the cost of airfare (maximum $350) to support student participation in professional conferences. Students who are invited to attend small, prestigious professional development workshops should apply for Tripke Travel Awards. Applicants must be regularly admitted graduate students who are in good standing with their academic unit and the Graduate College. There are four different deadlines throughout the year for these awards. Each academic unit can submit two applications for each deadline.
IGERT
Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) in Urban Ecology fellows can earn degrees in a core discipline of the life, earth, or social science. They also participate in team research, courses, and seminars that emphasize integration among collaborative components beyond the student's home discipline.
NASA Space Grant Program
Space Grant supports graduate and undergraduate students in a variety of disciplines to further their educational experiences in science, engineering research, and informal education programs.
The Nininger Meteorite Award
The Nininger Meteorite Award was established in 1965 through a gift from Dr. H.H. Nininger and his wife, Addie. Dr. Nininger is the individual from who ASU purchased the meteorites that make up the core collection in SESE’s Center for Meteorite Studies. The award was established to promote the study of meteoritics among young scientists. Applicants submit papers which are reviewed by a national panel of meteorite scientists.
Robert S. Dietz Field Camp Scholarships
For many years, the Robert S. Dietz Field Camp Scholarships were funded by Professor Robert S. Dietz using his own personal resources. Now, SESE carries on this tradition in his memory awarding the scholarships to support students who are majoring in geology. These students must complete field camp in order to complete their degree. The school awards the scholarships to multiple students who are enrolled in the field geology courses to help pay the required fees for the courses. Awarding of these scholarships will be based on financial need and on academic ability as demonstrated by previous course work in geology. Students who wish to be considered for a scholarship should complete the one-page application form, stating their financial need and summarizing their academic accomplishments.
Study Abroad Scholarship
CLAS Alumni International Scholarship for Study and Travel Abroad
Troy L. Péwé Vision Fellowship in Quaternary Studies
This $1,000 award was established in honor of the late Troy Péwé, professor of geology at ASU. The Péwé Fellowship will support graduate students in field-oriented studies in environmental geology, including the interactions of humans and their environment. This is to include periglacial studies (Alaska and Antarctica), the Grand Canyon and the Desert Southwest with a focus on some of these areas: climate change, permafrost, seasonal frost, mass movements, stratigraphy and glacial chronology. Must be at least one year out of school between masters and doctorate enrollment and have a 3.0 cumulative gpa. The school may elect to use either a nomination or application process.
Applications for the Undergraduate Research Scholarships will be due in the Spring.
