STUDENT SUPPORT
Support for student scholarships and fellowships is particularly important right now. Consider helping an undergraduate or graduate student with research or summer assistantships. Donors of scholarship funds receive updates from students on a semesterly basis, including updates on current research projects and pictures from the field. Read about one student's scholarship experience below.
The Sulzer scholarship has been of great value for the development of both my Ph.D. research as well as the organization of our department’s own student-run symposium, GeoDaze. Your generous donation has allowed me to focus on my academic research as well as helping the Geosciences Department keep the tradition of showcasing the hard work our students do. I really appreciate your help and thank you again for your support. (April 2019)
