Two of the projects that students currently work on when visiting the prairie are plant and grasshopper inventories. These inventories have students collect and identify different plants or grasshoppers at different times of the year that are very helpful for many different research projects. The generosity of our alumni has provided a number of scholarships for undergraduate geoscience majors, particularly in geology. We are seeking bright and motivated students with strong academic records. Strong candidates who are pre-admitted as Geoscience Majors will be considered for full tuition scholarships.
Partial scholarships are also available.
