Workshop Reimbursement Awards
If your institution has limited resources to support your participation in the On the Cutting Edge Early Career Geoscience Faculty workshop, you may be eligible for assistance of up to $1600. Because our funds are limited, we encourage you to first pursue possible sources of funding on your campus, such as your department chair, dean, center for teaching and learning, or other faculty development programs.
Funding to support workshop participation comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF); participants must be either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident to be eligible for this support.
Funds are issued as a reimbursement after the workshop. Awardees must pay the full fee at the time of registration and participate in the entire workshop to receive reimbursement.
Please note that workshop stipends may be considered taxable income. Since each situation is unique, we encourage you to consult with your tax advisor.
To apply for a stipend, fill out the stipend application form by April 15, 2026. We'll notify you of your stipend award amount, if any, before the workshop registration deadline.
Selection Criteria
Awardees will be selected on the basis of the following criteria:
- Application received by the April 15 deadline
- Demonstrated financial need
We may make awards for less than the maximum of $1600 in order to support more applicants.
Timing and Disbursement Details
Stipend award decisions are made soon after the stipend application deadline so that participants will know the results of their stipend application prior to the workshop payment deadline.
Awards will be issued after the workshop and after the awardees' participation in the entire workshop is verified by a workshop convener. Awardees must keep a copy of their registration receipt and travel expenses (airfare or mileage). Awardees will be contacted within three weeks of the stipend award application deadline with complete instructions.
