Alumni Support
Whether you obtained a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, if the Department of Geological Sciences has helped you in your career, please consider donating to the Department, as we could really use your support. There are scholarships in honor of retired faculty members that were endowed by generous alumni; building these scholarships helps to support our students. We also have scholarships set up for student field work/research and a general department fund that helps us meet our greatest needs as they arise. The Southern Rift Institute is soliciting donations for Graduate Student Research Grants. Please donate amounts to cover all or parts of $2500 research grants to help our MS students conduct cutting-edge research! All donations are tax-deductible. Your support is greatly appreciated.
