Description
The Susan Steele Weir Scholarship (Women of “Steele”) is offered by the Association of Engineering Geologists Foundation to support women pursuing undergraduate or graduate university studies in environmental and engineering geology. It provides educational support within these fields rather than funding a specified research project.
The Foundation encourages applicants with diverse racial backgrounds, life experiences, and interests within environmental and engineering geology. The scholarship application asks students to explain their interest in an engineering geology career, their long-term academic and career goals, and the role of field geology skills in their education and career preparation. The program sits within the Foundation’s broader support for scholarship, research, and professional development in environmental and engineering geology.
