The New Mexico Geological Society promotes interest in geology and associated sciences, fosters scientific research and publications, encourages cooperation among its members, and stimulates interest in New Mexico geology.
The New Mexico Geological Society awards research grants every spring to support graduate students attending a New Mexico University. These grants, including the NMGS Grants-in-Aid, aim to facilitate scientific research with a maximum award of $2000. Additionally, there is an opportunity for a Graduate Mentorship Grant, allowing a graduate student to mentor an undergraduate in research, with up to $1500 available. Applicants for Grants-in-Aid are also considered for the prestigious Kottlowski Research Award and Cearley Grants-In-Aid, with the two top-ranked applicants receiving these instead of the standard grant. The grant program emphasizes enhancing academic research and mentorship in the field of geology.
