General Scholarships

In addition to Geology and Environmental Science Department scholarships and grants, Blugolds who major in geology are eligible to apply for a whole host of Foundation-based scholarships across many disciplines. Many of these are open to students in science and math fields, and are generally awarded through a donor-based selection process. Be sure to look into the criteria, because each year some scholarships do not receive any applications.
