Geoscience BC opened its annual graduate research scholarship program today and is now seeking applications for up to ten awards of $5,000 each for students working on projects in BC exploring each of our three research focus areas: Minerals, Energy and Water.
Geoscience BC will award up to ten scholarships to students who have started in a MSc or PhD program in earth science, geoscience or applied geoscience. Applicants must be working on a BC-focused applied geoscience thesis topic related to the discovery or management of minerals, energy and water.
Scholarships will be awarded to students based on the project’s technical merit, the student’s interest and work experience in exploration and development related activities and volunteer experience. MSc students may receive the Geoscience BC scholarship only once during their program. Successful PhD students may apply for a second year of funding provided they can demonstrate that significant progress has been made on their project.
The application deadline for the 2020 scholarship program is April 30, 2020 at 4:00 pm PST.
