And you know the best? Those selected to participate in these programs win a paid trip to attend the SEG's Annual Meeting, which takes place in the United States!

In addition to the discounts to attend the SEG Annual Meeting, student or recent graduates members who had a abstract(s) selected to present can apply to receive a travel grant of USD $ 1000 to participate in the event.

The Field Camp program offers grants ranging from $ 1,000 to $ 20,000 per year per project (depending on available funding) to fund proposed field trip projects that impact the geophysical profession or geoscience students.

The intention of this annual award is to provide a research grant(s) in support of an undergraduate or graduate student in good standing, enrolled in a relevant academic program at an accredited institution, and engaged in near-surface geophysics research. The award is intended to offset some expenses directly related to the awardee's near-surface geophysics research; including field data acquisition, laboratory studies, specialized computer software, or other general activities related to the completion of the research program.

The SEG Student Chapter Outreach Grant provides support for student chapter projects and initiatives that make a significant impact within their surrounding community or schools to raise awareness of the field of geosciences.

Examples of projects include: holding workshops for teachers or community members that focus on local geoscience-based problems (e.g., sinkholes, earthquakes, landslides, water availability), providing hands-on activities for community or school events such as “science days”, supporting a summer camp for students and/or science teachers, serving as advisors for students and teachers involved in geoscience themed science fair projects, or developing virtual geophysical field trips and data analysis activities to be shared with local high schools and community colleges.
