Description
The Society of Economic Geologists Graduate Student Fellowship Program provides one-year support for students beginning graduate education in economic geology. Fellowships are awarded by the SEG Foundation (SEGF) and SEG Canada Foundation (SEGCF) to students pursuing a Professional Master's, M.Sc., or Ph.D. at an accredited college or university.
The program supports study related to mineral and ore deposits, geochemistry, or geophysics with applications to minerals exploration and mine geology. Fellowship funds can help with personal educational and living expenses, equipment, and training that benefits the student's studies or research. The application asks students to explain their economic-geology interests, research plans, background, and career goals, supported by faculty appraisals of their qualifications and research significance.
