Due date: Friday, April 13th, 2007.
Return applications to Matt Belobraydic, c/o Leonard Hall office.

In the future, Beta Zeta Chapter hopes to increase the number, amount and type of scholarships. In the past, we have been able to supply funding for field camp, travel (for academic conferences, etc.) and research. If you wish to help us meet these goals, please consider becoming a member of the Beta Zeta Chapter of Sigma Gamma Epsilon.

Added April 4th, 2007 - Field Camp Clarification email:

Beta Zeta Chapter of SGE is giving out two (2) $250 scholarships for field camp. In the interest of making everything clear about the Field Camp scholarships, we'd like to clarify a few things:

1. These scholarships are open to ALL students in the Geosciences. If you are planning on going to field camp this summer, YOU SHOULD APPLY!

2. We will accept applications from graduate students, but we'd rather give money to UNDERGRADUATES. If you are an undergraduate, YOU SHOULD APPLY!

3. You DO NOT have to be a member of Sigma Gamma Epsilon (or AUG, for that matter) to apply. We do these things because we have the money, and sending you to field camp promotes the earth sciences. That is what the organization is about.

4. If you have any doubt about your eligibility, APPLY ANYWAY!

Scholarship application forms can be downloaded at the Beta Zeta website, http://betazetasge.blogspot.com (make sure you download the "Field Camp Scholarship" application).

Applications are due Friday, April 13th. Hand them into the Leonard Hall office (room 101).

If you have ANY questions, please reply to this email. If your question happens to be, "Am I eligible to apply?", we can tell you right now that the answer is YES.


Have a wonderful day,
Beta Zeta Execs
