About geology grants

Geology grants fund thesis research, field camps, instrumentation, and graduate study in the geological sciences. The Geological Society of America (GSA) has supported geoscience research since 1933 through its graduate student research grants, and the GSA Foundation manages more than 120 specialized funds; the National Science Foundation's Earth Sciences division funds larger research efforts. These awards primarily support students and researchers at universities and research institutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for geology?

Geology grants commonly support graduate thesis research, field camp scholarships, instrumentation, and specialized research topics. The GSA graduate student research grant program provides partial support for master's and doctoral thesis work, and the GSA Foundation administers field camp awards and over 120 specialized funds. NSF's Earth Sciences division funds larger faculty- and institution-led research projects.

Who funds geology research and students?

The Geological Society of America and the GSA Foundation are central funders for student research and field training, having supported thousands of geoscientists since 1933. The National Science Foundation funds broader research and instrumentation through its Earth Sciences division. Professional societies such as AAPG and various regional geological associations also offer student grants and scholarships.

Can graduate students apply for geology research grants?

Yes — graduate students are a primary audience. GSA graduate student research grants partially support master's and doctoral thesis research for students enrolled at universities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Central America, and students may receive up to two GSA grants over their academic career. These awards supplement rather than fully fund research, so pair them with other sources. Check enrollment and eligibility rules before applying.
