The Mineralogical Society of America announces the 2010 MSA Grant For
Student Research In Mineralogy And Petrology from an endowment
created by contributions from the MSA membership. The grant comprises
two awards of up to $5000 each for research in mineralogy and
petrology. Students, including graduate and undergraduate students,
are encouraged to apply. However, all proposals are considered
together. The award selection will be based on the qualifications of
the applicant, the quality, innovativeness, and scientific
significance of the research, and the likelihood of success of the
project.
The grant is for research-related expenses only. Travel to meetings,
conferences, short courses, non-research fieldtrips, tuition,
non-research living (room and board) expenses, etc. are not suitable
uses of the money. Neither should the money be used for salary or
wages for the researcher. Proposals that make such requests will not
be considered further.
The next award will be made in January, 2010. Application forms for
the grant may be obtained here or from
