Micropaleontology Student Awards and Funds

As an organization for micropaleontologists, NAMS believes strongly in the importance of supporting development of students in our field. We are active in several initiatives to support student research and professional activities.

Garry Jones Award for NAMS Student Research

Named in memory of former NAMS President Garry Jones, the NAMS Student Research Award is an annual scholarship offered to students working on graduate degrees in the field of micropaleontology.

Applications are currently being accepted, with a closing date of February 1, 2008.

Application packages will include an application form, project proposal, and letter of recommendation from the student's advisor. Necessary files are available here on the NAMS/SEPM website in MS Word format. Interested students may contact Nancy Engelhardt-Moore (address at "About NAMS" page) for more information.

Mobil Foundation Student Participation Grants for NAMS student members

2008 Meeting Grant Application Announcement here

The Mobil Foundation generously funds an SEPM grant program to provide travel funds for students selected by SEPM Sections to attend the Annual SEPM/AAPG Meeting. The purpose of the program is to encourage students to discover the spectrum of science presented at the Annual Meetings and to begin expanding their professional network, while building a better working relationship between SEPM and its sections. NAMS is pleased to participate in this program to support presentation of a student paper or poster based on research with a substantial micropaleontologic component. An annual call for student papers is sent to the NAMS membership well in advance of AAPG/SEPM meeting abstract deadlines. For more information, please contact one of the NAMS officers.
