As part of the Lead By Example Campaign, the Department of Geology & Geophysics is redefining the way the world recognizes the critical career fields and the unique skillsets of our graduates. At Texas A&M, we seek to attract the best and the brightest students to our programs by offering competitive scholarships and graduate fellowships. Delivering on the promise of a little to no debt education and delivering unparalleled quality training programs.

• Fellowships for Graduate Students

  To recruit exceptional candidates, the Department of Geology and Geophysics must improve its financial and research opportunities. By helping fund or by identifying resources, you can ensure that a lasting legacy of teaching through research excellence is sustained in geology and geophysics.

• Scholarships for Undergraduate Students

  Each year rising costs and dwindling state support increase the pressure on students to obtain a college education, as well as their parents’ ability to fund it.

• Imperial Barrel Award

  The Imperial Barrel Award (IBA) program encourages geology and geophysics students to explore a career in the energy industry. Students receive real-world, career-development experience with a presentation judged by industry experts. 

• Field Excursions/High-Impact Learning

  A pivotal point in every Geology & geophysics major is participation in high impact learning experiences such as field or research opportunities that go beyond the classroom setting. These funds provide transformational educational experiences.

We are teaching and training some of the most critical professionals for our collective future. Whether you make an impact by supporting high impact learning programs, create a scholarship or fellowship, or leave a lasting legacy through a planned giving strategy, your support is critical.
