2010-2011 GCAGS SCHOLARSHIP FUND-MATCHING PROGRAM
The GCAGS has established a new scholarship fund-matching program in order to provide incentive to its Affiliated Societies to raise funds for their registered scholarship foundations. The GCAGS will match, on a one-to-one basis, newly raised scholarship funds up to a total of $10,000 per Society, except for the Houston Geological Society, which will be allowed to receive matching funds up to $10,000 for each of its two separate registered scholarship foundations. The program began on January 1, 2010 and will run through June 30, 2011.
If you are interested in helping provide financial aid to university geoscience students in your area, please contact your local Gulf Coast Affiliated Society to learn about its scholarship foundation and how you can double the value of your donation to it by taking advantage of the GCAGS Scholarship Fund-Matching Program.
