The Geology Graduate Program in the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) is pleased to offer graduate students support for fieldwork, conference travel, and analytical research activities and expenses through funding made available from generous endowments and gifts to the program. Funds may be used for expenditures such as, but not limited to, analytical expenses, field work travel or activities, fieldwork equipment or supplies, conference registration or abstract fees, lodging, transportation costs related to such travel.
