Description
The Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG) presents the Winifred Goldring Award to three outstanding female graduate students pursuing careers in paleontology or an affiliated science. The award recognizes achievement and promise in these disciplines rather than funding a specified research topic or defined project.
Recipients receive a cash prize alongside membership in the Paleontological Society and AWG, with AWG membership continuing throughout their schooling. This combination provides financial support and scientific society membership as recipients continue their graduate studies and pursue their careers.
