Description
The Geological Society of America (GSA) Section Research Grants program provides funding to undergraduate and graduate students who are GSA members and enrolled in institutions within the GSA's regional sections. The grants are intended to facilitate student-led research projects in the geosciences, with each section (South-Central, North-Central, Southeastern, Northeastern, Rocky Mountain, and Cordilleran) administering its own awards. Funding typically supports fieldwork, laboratory analyses, and other research expenses, encouraging students to pursue innovative research relevant to the geological characteristics and needs of their regions.
