The Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, & Volcanology (MGPV) Division Student Travel Grants are administered by the Geological Society of America (GSA) through its MGPV Division. These grants are designed to provide travel funding for students—primarily in the fields of mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology, volcanology, and closely related disciplines. The aim is to support student participation in professional meetings, field site visits, or other relevant academic activities, thereby advancing their professional development and engagement within the geosciences community. This program is distinct from the central GSA Graduate Student Research Grants and is managed directly by the MGPV Division.
