Scholarships offered by the Geology Program
Each year the Geology Program offers scholarship support to qualifying UL students from over a dozen separate accounts in the UL Foundation. The awards are available to both Graduate and Undergraduate students at all levels of their academic careers.
The awards range from $400 to $2,000 with most being between $500 and $1,000 depending on the guidelines for the individual scholarship fund. Most years about $42,000 is given in about 20 to 25 separate awards.
