What We Do
The RMAG Foundation supports activities in the earth sciences by providing funds to support students, teaching endeavors and by funding earth science outreach by institutions and individuals.
Scholarships
The Foundation offers ten competitive scholarships. Applications are accepted annually from December to February and awarded in March. Trustees award scholarships based on a project description; budget and schedule; resume; and letter of recommendation from a faculty member. Two scholarships are awarded to students nominated by faculty at their respective schools.
Scholarships are available to both graduate and undergraduate students. Applicants are encouraged to closely read the requirements for each scholarship to avoid disqualification. Scholarships are only available to students at institutions located in the United States.
The Foundation reserves the right to not award one or more scholarships should the applicant(s) not meet the criteria and standards for the scholarships.
The Foundation also awards Publication Grants and Dickinson Grants. Publication Grants help defray the cost of publishing in a scientific journal. Dickinson Grants provide support for students to further their research.
