Colorado School of Mines Memorial Scholarship

Applicants focusing on geology, geophysics, or any other earth science-related sub-discipline, are encouraged to apply.  This scholarship was initiated by John Lockridge, a prominent petroleum geologist and geologic community leader in Denver, and is supported in his memory by his wife, Erika, friends, and colleagues. John was one of the three founders of the RMAG Foundation, serving as a Trustee for thirteen years.
