<![CDATA[The Society for Organic Petrology (TSOP) invites applications for
graduate student research grants. The purpose of the grants is to foster
research in organic petrology (which includes coal petrology, kerogen
petrology, organic geochemistry and related disciplines) by providing
support to graduate students from around the world, who demonstrate the
application of organic petrology concepts to research problems.
Grant Size: Monetary awards up to a maximum of $1,000.00 US will be
granted. TSOP will also provide Merit Awards, in the form of
certificates redeemable for TSOP publications, to top-ranking applicants
not receiving grants. The program awards a maximum of two grants each
year.
Use of Grant: Grants are to be applied to expenses directly related to
the student’s thesis work, such as summer fieldwork, laboratory
analyses, etc. A portion (not to exceed 25%) of the funds may be used to
attend TSOP Annual Meetings. Funds should not be used to purchase
capital equipment, to pay salaries, tuition, room, or board during the
school year. Funds must be spent within 18 months of receipt of the
award.
