The Geoscience Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, and Accessibility (IDEA) Scholarship program encourages women from under-served or marginalized communities to pursue an education and career in the Earth Sciences/Geosciences. Many research studies show the Earth Sciences are the least diverse community in all STEM fields. This Scholarship aims to counteract this and enhance diversity within the future Geoscience workforce.
NOTE: Geoscience, herein, is defined as- the academic or educational study of Geology, Geochemistry, Geodynamics, Geophysics, Economic/Mining Geology and Energy Resources, Engineering Geology, Environmental Geology, Geoarchaeology, Geobiology, Geoscience Education/EducatorGeoinformatics, Historical Geology, Hydrogeology, Mineralogy, Paleontology, Planetary Geology, Petrology, Quaternary Geology/Geomorphology, Structural Geology/Seismology, Stratigraphy, Soil and Soil Development Processes, or Volcanology. Other areas of study may include Oceanography, Meteorology, and/or Climatology.
The IDEA Scholarship provides three upper-division undergraduate students an award of $2500 each and one lower-division undergraduate student an award of $500. Each student can be matched with AWG mentors to enhance their chosen career path. It also includes a one-year, sponsored, AWG student membership. Students will have the opportunity to develop deeper relationships with their mentors, contacting them to discuss ideas, obtain advice or guidance for a variety of Geoscience career paths. Any applicant may request an AWG mentor, even if she is not awarded the Scholarship. Applicants who are not selected for the award may still be selected to receive a one-year sponsored AWG student membership.
