The California Geographical Society is pleased to offer a variety of awards and scholarships in recognition of outstanding scholarly activity. The CGS distributes more than $2,000 each year in student scholarships and awards. Presented each year at the annual conferences, these awards are a significant source of pride for the California Geographical Society.

The maintenance of the endowments funding our awards and scholarships is largely underwritten by donations made by society members. We encourage you to consider donating to one or more of the funds that reward outstanding student geographers. Many folks simply donate what they see fit during the conference registration process, but for those of you who would like to keep their donations separate from their conference costs, there are other options. 

Below each award is the option for those who would like to donate to one of our funds that support student scholarship. Simply click on a "donate now" button and your browser will open a new window at the PayPal site.
