Graduate Student Fellowship Program: The Board of Trustees of the Society of Economic Geologists Foundation (SEGF) takes great pleasure in announcing, “The SEGF Graduate Student Fellowship Program.”

This program will provide fellowships to students who intend to pursue a course of study in economic geology leading to a Master of Science (MSc) and/or PhD degree, with preference given to those who will be entering graduate school following completion of a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree, or equivalent.

Individual fellowships range from $10,000 to $20,000 for the first year of graduate study.

Students from throughout the world with an expressed interest in pursuing graduate studies in economic geology are encouraged to apply.

Applicants must meet the following requirements:

• Have completed, or are in the process of completing, a BS or equivalent degree in the geosciences or related fields.
• Have been accepted, or are in the process of being accepted, as a first-year graduate student at a recognized college or university offering a graduate program leading to an MSc and/or PhD degree in economic geology as it relates to the study of mineral and ore deposits, geochemistry or geophysics with applications to minerals exploration and mine geology.
• Have manifested a strong interest in the study of economic geology as it relates to mineral and ore deposits, geochemistry or geophysics with applications to minerals exploration and mine geology, or in a discipline directly related to the field of economic geology.
• Must be an SEG student member, or have applied for SEG student membership.

Completed application forms must be accompanied by:

1. an official transcript of grades from the institution awarding the BS degree and

2. two letters of recommendation—one from the student’s undergraduate advisor or head of department, and another from a faculty member familiar with the applicant’s academic record and character.

Applications will be evaluated by an SEGF committee established solely for the purpose of selecting graduate student fellowship recipients.

Funds will be delivered to the successful applicants upon receipt by the SEGF of proof of enrollment at the graduate school selected by the student. It is anticipated that 5 to 10 fellowships will be awarded annually.

Applications, together with the supporting information, should be submitted to the address below and must be postmarked no later than February 15.

Completed application forms and any request for further information should be submitted to the following address: Chairman, SEGF Graduate Student Fellowship Program, Society of Economic Geologists Foundation, Inc. 7811 Shaffer Parkway, Littleton , CO 80127 USA. E-mail: seg [at] segweb.org

MSc Fellowships at UNESCO-IHE Delft: MSc Fellowships at UNESCO-IHE Delft cover the 18-month Master of Science (MSc) programmes that start every year in October.

The first year of the programme consists of taught modules.

This is followed by six-month research period resulting in a thesis.

Each module is taught over a three-week period, is structured around a central theme and has a certain number of credit points.

UNESCO-IHE uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), in which each credit point is equivalent to 28 study load hours.

The UNESCO-IHE Master of Science programme consists of 106 credit points in total.

When the participant has successfully completed the taught modules, he or she will enter an individual research programme for a six-month period, under the guidance of a supervisor.

The study is completed with the MSc thesis and a public presentation of its results, which are judged by an examination committee.

The study deals with a practical or theoretical problem and is possibly carried out in collaboration with a water sector organisation in the Netherlands or the participant’s employer.

Field data collection, laboratory or computer analysis work will in many cases form part of the study.

Status of Degrees:

UNESCO-IHE degrees are awarded to participants who have successfully completed an MSc programme.

The degrees are recognised as postgraduate degrees by all universities in the Netherlands.

The academic level and duration of the MSc programmes awarded by the Institute are comparable with those of Masters Programmes given at universities in the UK, the USA and Australia.

UNESCO-IHE MSc degrees are accredited degrees under the Dutch law.

Fellowships:

UNESCO-IHE encourages you to apply for one of the different fellowships yearly available.
