Description
The Harriet Evelyn Wallace Scholarship is presented by the Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG) to support a woman pursuing a master's or doctoral degree in the geosciences. The merit-based scholarship supports advanced geoscience education rather than a specified research topic or project. Applicants describe their graduate research interests, the potential impact of that research on the geoscience community, and their non-academic interests.
The scholarship was established through a bequest from Harriet Evelyn Wallace, a founding member of the Geoscience Information Society (GSIS). AWG's 2026 offering is supported by funding donated by the American Geosciences Institute (AGI).
