Requirements

This program is open to 1) high school students planning to enter college in the fall, and 2) undergraduate or graduate students whose grades are above average.

Preference is given to students at schools in Houston, Texas; if no qualified students from that area apply, students at other colleges and universities in Texas are considered; if no students at Texas colleges qualify, the award is available to students at any institution in the United States.

Applicants must intend to work on a degree directed toward a career in applied geophysics or a closelyrelated field (e.g., earth or environmental sciences, geology, geoscience, or physics).

Financial need is not considered in the selection process.

U.S. citizenship is required.
