This fund, named in honor of Lincoln R. Page, will reimburse award winners up to $300 for expenses related to their continuing education in the earth sciences. The award is open to any and all individuals who seek to continue their earth-science education in a manner consistent with the purposes of the New Hampshire Geological Society. K-12 teachers are especially encouraged to apply. Appropriate expenses would include travel to regional or national earth-science related conferences, course tuition, etc... Applications should consist of a one-page letter explaining the purposes for which funds are sought, and how an award would benefit the individual and meet the purposes of the NHGS. The application should be accompanied by a letter of endorsement from the applicant's school principal, faculty advisor, or employer as appropriate. We anticipate that only one award will be made per year.
Applications will be considered as they are received, and should be sent to: The New Hampshire Geological Society, Scholarship Requests, Suite 133, 26 South Main St., Concord, NH 03301.
Teachers from across the state of New Hampshire are also invited to submit proposals for a grant of funds (up to $300) to support the purchase of earth-science related teaching materials (equipment or supplies) for use in the classroom. Proposals should consist of a one-page letter explaining the purposes for which funds are sought, and how an award would benefit students and meet the purposes of the NHGS. The proposal should be accompanied by a letter of endorsement from the applicant's school principal.
Proposals will be considered as they are received, and should be sent to: The New Hampshire Geological Society, Scholarship Requests, Suite 133, 26 South Main St., Concord, NH 03301.
