Scholarships

Historically, upwards of 80% of our applicants are awarded scholarships each summer, with the average amount being $900. Scholarship recipients are chosen by a selection committee composed of IU Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences faculty members associated with Field Station courses. This committee decides which source of funding is most appropriate for individual awards. The primary criterion for the awarding of scholarships is academic merit.
