Graduate Student Research Grants, The Society for Organic
Petrology (TSOP).
TSOP invites applications for two graduate student research grants
of up to $1000 each. The purpose of the grants is to foster research
in organic petrology (which includes coal petrology, kerogen
petrology, organic geochemistry and related disciplines) by
providing support to graduate students who demonstrate the utility
and significance of organic petrology in solving the thesis problem.
The TSOP Student Grants Program supports qualified graduate
students from around the world who are actively seeking advanced
degrees. Preference is given to full-time students in Master's (or
equivalent) degree programs but applications are also encouraged
from PhD candidates and part-time graduate students.
Monetary awards are to be applied to expenses directly related to
the student's thesis work, such as summer fieldwork, laboratory
analyses, etc. A portion (not to exceed 25%) of the award funds
may be used to attend a TSOP Annual Meeting. Grant application
deadline is May 15, 2001. Grants will be awarded in September
2001.
