Sheila J. Seaman Student Research Fund

The Sheila J. Seaman Student Research Fund was established to provide support for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the Department of Earth, Geographic, and Climate Sciences to conduct research both in the field and in the laboratory. The Fund may be used for expenses, such as but not limited to: travel costs, expendable supplies, and laboratory fees, that are associated with field activities and/or laboratory work. Preference will be given to students conducting research in mineralogy or petrology. Students are automatically considered for this award based on their completed General Application through the UMass Amherst Scholarships portal.
