Description
The Jeanne E. Harris Chrysalis Scholarship, administered by the Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG), provides degree-completion funding for women graduate students in geoscience whose education has been significantly interrupted by life circumstances. Its focus is the final work needed to finish a thesis or dissertation, rather than a separate research project.
The scholarship addresses practical completion expenses beyond those traditionally covered by primary research funding. Supported costs may include thesis or dissertation preparation, travel for a defense, required tuition during the final stage of preparation, and dependent care. This assistance is directed toward helping recipients bring their graduate research to completion and finish their degrees.
