To advance geoscience research and discovery, service to society, stewardship of Earth, and the geosciences profession.
The Roy J. Shlemon Scholarship Award aims to support graduate students who present the best research proposals within the field of environmental and engineering geology. The program offers partial funding for both Master's and Doctoral level thesis research, with the number of awards and the amount of scholarship varying annually based on the committee's discretion and the presented budgets. While the program is competitive and does not guarantee funding, it emphasizes inclusivity by strongly encouraging participation from women, minorities, and persons with disabilities. The application process requires confidential evaluations from two faculty members, and it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure these are submitted properly and on time.
