Gifts from our alumni and friends enable us to do the amazing things you read about in this newsletter. Thank you so much to all who contribute to support our students, faculty and staff. Current departmental funding priorities include student scholarships, fellowships, professional development and research support. Each of these can be supported through the following funds:
Geology and Geophysics Greatest Needs
The Geology and Geophysics program at the University of Utah is ranked within the top 50 Earth Science programs in the United States.
Geology and Geophysics Scholarship Fund
General scholarship fund for students pursuing a degree from the Department of Geology and Geophysics.
Francis H. Brown Rosenblatt Prize Endowment
A fund established in 2001 by Francis H. Brown to benefit the Department of Geology and Geophysics. Funds may be utilized for scholarships, fellowships, travel, equipment, or supplies to support the academic mission of the Department.
Marjorie A. Chan Geoscience Field Experiences Fund in the Department of Geology and Geophysics
Contributions to the Marjorie A. Chan Geoscience Field Experiences Endowment will directly benefit current and future geoscience students by making these essential field experiences more accessible and robust. Funding helps to offset costs associated with transportation, lodging, and equipment and it alleviates financial barriers for students who otherwise may be unable to participate.
David and Inga M. Chapman Scholarship in Geology and Geophysics
Supports student research visits to collaborating labs; attendance at focused workshops and conferences; activities that broaden their international experience; and opportunities to participate in major endeavors such as collaborative field studies and research cruises.
Gifts of any size are greatly appreciated. Please consider making a contribution in the way that is most meaningful to you.
