NAGT Sponsorships Grant

Through its sponsorships, NAGT aims to enhance visibility and impact within the geoscience community, fostering collaborations and expanding membership. Sponsorships support both long-term programs and single events, ensuring that NAGT is acknowledged and involved in all associated activities. This initiative aligns with NAGT's mission to provide effective Earth education to diverse audiences.

The National Association of Geoscience Teachers seeks opportunities to support and promote a wide variety of geoscience education opportunities.
The purposes of sponsorship are:

• To establish collaborations and cooperation between NAGT, its members, and other organizations
• To enhance the visibility and impact of geoscience education efforts
• To engage or expand NAGT membership

They may be funded by external agencies (e.g. NSF) or funded by the organization requesting sponsorship (e.g. AGU).
