Application forms may be obtained from the department upon request. Scholarships are awarded during the Fall and Spring semesters, and must be applied for each time. The number of scholarships varies from semester to semester, and 15 to 20 is common. The Geology Program at Midwestern prides itself as one of the few undergraduate departments in the United States that can offer extensive funding for the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Arts degrees. Freshman scholarships in geology are designed to attract outstanding students to a complex field of study that is critical in many ways to our nation's economic future.
Experts forecast strong demand for training in the earth sciences well into the next century.
To assist students in their pursuit of education, we have funding available. A minor in Chemistry , Biology , Physics , Mathematics , Computer Science , or Engineering Technology is recommended, but students are free to choose any discipline they desire. Students may also obtain a background in Geology through the Environmental Science Program. More information can be obtained through the Financial Aid Office and the Registrar and Admissions Office.
