Field camps are designed to give college students pursuing degrees in the geosciences experience conducting research in the field. Scholarships can help students defray the costs of attending field camp. Many of these are made available by professional geoscience and geology organizations. Because most field camps take place during the summer, the application deadlines for field camp scholarships fall early in the year, most typically in February.
NAGT Scholarships for Field Study
The National Association of Geoscience Teachers makes attendance at a field camp possible through NAGT Scholarships for Field Study. These $500 scholarships are available not only for attendance at a traditional summer field camp, but also for any college course that involves fieldwork. Undergraduate students with grade point averages of at least 3.0 are eligible to apply. In addition to a completed scholarship application, a student must also submit a 250-word essay that explains how the field camp experience fits into her long-term goals. The annual deadline for application is Feb. 16.
