2025 Scholarship Opportunities

The Coast Geological Society (CGS) is proud to support the future of geoscience by offering scholarships for the 2025 academic year. These scholarships are designed to assist students in their educational journey, helping them achieve their academic and professional goals in the field of geoscience. Applications are now open for the 2025 scholarships. 

These scholarships are made possible through the generous contributions of the Pacific Section of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (PSAAPG) and other valued donors. We extend our heartfelt thanks to PSAAPG for their continued support.

Testimonials from Our Recipients

The impact of your support is best expressed by those who have benefited directly. Below is a testimonial from the Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) Earth and Planetary Sciences Department:

'The SBCC Earth and Planetary Sciences Dept. received a very generous gift from the Coast Geological Society on the evening of the student research presentations and scholarships. Thank you! We will put this in our "Friends of the Earth Sciences" account where it will support students to continue to attend CGS meetings in the future student participation on our field courses and small scholarships we give internally in our department.

As you know we actively support CGS and CGS actively supports us not only through gifts like this but by subsidizing dinners for our students and providing a venue for enrichment and networking the value of which to our students is greater than you probably know. CGS's support is very much appreciated and has been over the many years.'

With gratitude,
Dr. Bill Dinklage,
Professor, SBCC Dept. of Earth and Planetary Sciences

Support Our Mission Through Donations!

Your generous donations ensure that we can continue to provide scholarships to deserving students. We now accept donations through PayPal, allowing you to specify which scholarship you would like to support. For example, you can choose to donate directly to the John Woolley Scholarship or contribute to a general fund that helps where it is most needed.

Your donation, no matter the amount, makes a real difference. With your help, we can continue to fund scholarships that allow students to pursue their passion for geoscience. Consider supporting one of our named scholarships, like the John Woolley Scholarship, or making a general donation to ensure funds are available where they are needed most.

Looking Ahead – Creative Fundraising Initiatives
As we continue to explore new fundraising opportunities, your ideas and contributions are invaluable. We are optimistic that with your help, we can exceed our goals and provide even more scholarships in the coming years.
