Janet Cullen Tanaka Geosciences Undergraduate Scholarship

Description

The AWG Pacific Northwest Chapter's Janet Cullen Tanaka Geosciences Undergraduate Scholarship is awarded each winter to two recipients. Awards are given at the Gold level for $2000 and Silver level for $500. Applicants must be an undergraduate geoscience student identifying as a woman (cisgender or transgender), gender fluid, and/or non-binary person. The application's major (or apparent major, based on classes taken) field of study must be a recognized geoscience (i.e., geology, geoengineering, hydrogeology). Other marginally related fields we consider ineligible include atmospheric sciences, civil engineering (unless there's a strong geotechnical emphasis), and forestry. Applicants must be attending an institution that offers at least three geoscience classes and has a dominantly geoscience or earth science faculty member (2-year colleges), or be attending a geoscience degree-granting institution (4-year colleges or universities) located in Washington or Oregon. Students do not need to be a permanent resident of Washington or Oregon. Applicants must submit two letters of reference, one academic and one about the applicant's financial situation. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
