This is a program to interest minority students in pursuing the earth sciences as a field of study and a career. This is the oldest and most successful program of it kind in the US. Pages on the programs history and mission can be found on this site.

As Teachers and counselors this program can help you encourage promising students to reach their potential. Students will fill out the Student Application Form and submit an essay. Teachers/Counselors will print and fill out the Parental Consent/High School Counselor/Teacher form. Please include a letter of recomendation and send both items to Dinah Maygarden.

What kind of students are we looking for?

1- Students with a desire to learn, study and work hard.

2- Students with a keen interest in science and the world around them. An interest in earth science is a plus.

3- Academic excellence is one measure of a student's interest. But beyond academics we are looking for students with a natural curiosity about the earth and the environment around them. A student who likes to study how things work and why.

4- Students who work well with others, who thrive in teamwork situations.

5-Students who are open to new ideas and experiences.
