Student Research Grant Awards
To recognize and promote the work of young scientists in the field of geochemistry, the IAGC announced a Student Research Grant program in 2007. The objective of this initiative is to assist PhD students in geochemistry with undertaking and acquiring geochemical analyses in support of the student's dissertation research.
An IAGC Student Research Grant award consists of a grant of up to $3000 (US) to support the analytical needs of a geochemistry PhD student, a certificate, and an article profiling the recipient in the IAGC Newsletter and posted on the IAGC website. Each recipient of an IAGC Student Research Grant also will receive a complementary 1-year membership to IAGC for the year following receipt of the award, if not already a member.
