GSA Student Research Grants 

The primary role of the GSA research grants program is to provide partial support of master's and doctoral thesis research in the geological sciences for graduate students at universities in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America.

2009 GSA Research Grant Recipients

The GSA Committee on Research Grants met at GSA Headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, 21 March 2009, and awarded US$520,425 to 194 graduate students (30%). The average grant was $2,683. The committee also selected eleven alternate candidates in the event that any grantees return all or part of their funds due to a change in their research project or receipt of funds from another source. The GSA Graduate Student Research Grant Program is funded by GSA, The GSA Foundation, GSA Divisions, and the National Science Foundation.
