Approximately fifty scholarships are being awarded to academically talented and financially needy upperclassmen majoring in Geology and Natural Sciences and to students in the first two years of the graduate program in Geology. Juniors and graduate students are receiving two-year awards and one-year awards are being made to seniors. The scholarships are helping to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in the geosciences and are increasing the numbers of qualified physical science teachers.The geology curriculum requires an eight week summer field based course. The students are undertaking field studies at the White Mountain Research Station in the eastern Sierra Nevada. Other field based opportunities being made available are the studies in the area of oceanography at the Bodega Marine Laboratory and of volcanology in Hawaii. Students are being encouraged to undertake research in such subdisciplines as analytical geochemistry, petrology, thermochemistry, geomagnetism and visualization.

在地质学和自然科学专业的学术上，大约有五十家学术奖学金授予了学术才华和经济上的高年级奖学金，并在地质研究生课程的头两年中授予了学生。 大三学生和研究生正在获得两年奖项，并向老年人颁发了一年的奖项。 这些奖学金有助于扩大代表性不足的团体在地球科学中的参与，并增加了合格的物理科学教师的数量。地质课程需要八周的基于夏季的课程。 这些学生正在内华达山脉东部的白山研究站进行现场研究。 提供的其他基于现场的机会是在Bodega Marine Laboratory和夏威夷火山学领域进行的研究。 鼓励学生在分析地球化学，岩石学，热化学，地磁和可视化等子学科进行研究。
