Awards are given at the Gold level for $2000 and Silver level for $500.

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.
