Six Geological Sciences first-year master’s students at Ohio University have successfully defended their thesis proposals and have been awarded Geological Sciences Alumni Research Grants and Summer Fellowships.
The Alumni Research Grant provides funding for supplies and travel related to thesis research. The Summer Fellowship provides a stipend for the summer semester that allows graduate students to focus on their thesis research. Funds for the grants and fellowships are provided for by generous donations from the Geological Sciences alumni.
